Define your target group based on attributes that matter
What’s the key to building strategies and messaging with the best possible return on investment? You need to identify your target segment. Not just their age or location. You need to really understand what motivates them. Who are they? What do they do? What do they value in life? How tech savvy are they? How do their attitudes and lifestyles impact their purchasing decisions?
When you truly get to know the people you want to reach, creating the right products, crafting marketing communication, and selling your products becomes less complex. Our NIQ(formerly GfK) Roper Consumer Styles are a multi-dimensional lifestyle segmentation of consumers with worldwide usability. It maps out eight distinct segments of people based on their fundamental values, attitudes, and tech affinity. Developed using extensive R&D and validated by a number of international research programs, NIQ Roper Consumer Styles is the most reliable tool to understand your consumers and find the best ways to reach them.
Effectively target the right people
When you get to know the valuable insights about your target consumers, you can align your product, messaging, and sales strategies to best reach them. Our reports help you to:
Get to know who they are
Understand where they live, what their household looks like, their socioeconomic status (education, income), their interests, what they value, and what they do in their free time.
Identify what they want in life
Understand how their purchase decision process evolves, what they consume, how and what they purchase, and which product characteristics they love.
Know how to reach them
Understand how and where they consume media, the topics they are interested in, and how they expect to connect with brands so you can best reach them.
Connect all your insights
NIQ’s Roper Consumer Styles connects seamlessly to market research tools and marketing tools like eBus, ad hoc studies, and GfK consumer panels (in Germany) for a holistic view of your target segment.
Address segments based on their lifestyles
By understanding what makes your target group tick, you can better address their key concerns and values. Consider the following:
- Alphas: Are traditional and ambitious
- Rooted: Tend to be thrifty and spend a lot of time with media – watching tv, listening to the radio, and surfing the internet
- Trend Surfers: Value social recognition and value health and fitness
- Easy Going: Are most concerned about financial security
