This 91 page PowerPoint report examines the LSM 6 segment of South Africa and provides a comprehensive profile of the LSM 6 segment (mass market). In 2011, 21% of all South African adults lived in households classified as LSM 6, representing 6.9 million adults (16+ years) – by far the largest LSM group in South Africa. The segment had grown from 17.3% in 2006, mainly emerging from the LSM 3-5 segments.

LSM (the Living Standards Measure) has become the most widely used marketing research tool in South Africa by measuring the material affluence of households (rather than individuals) and dividing the population into 10 groups, 10 (highest) to 1 (lowest). The consumer analysis is based on an annual consumer survey among a nationally representative sample of 25,000 people - All Media and Products Survey conducted by the South African Advertising Research Foundation.

Some of the key questions the report will help you to answer are:  
  • What are the geo-demographic trends (2009-2011) for LSM 6? e.g. age, gender, lifestage
  • Who are LSM 6? e.g. age, gender, race, life-stage, geographics
  • How do you engage with them? e.g. lifestyle, cellphone, Internet, sports, music interests
  • What media do you use to communicate to them? e.g. Online Media, TV, radio, newspapers, magazines
  • What are the important consumer trends that should be included in your business strategy?
    •  
The comprehensive report includes geo-demographic trends (2009-2011), as well as a detailed segmentation according to gender and age (15-24, 25-34, 35-49, 50+) making it the perfect reference report for anyone who wants to understand this segment of the market.
