Financial: market research reports

The three most important variables in real estate are location, location and location. For business, demographics tells you where your customers are, who they are, and what they want, making it the ‘location’ of business. Demographics is a way to describe the characteristics of human population. Widely used in public policy, marketing and sociology, demographics data is the life’s blood of a wide variety of users: from presidential campaigns looking to get out the vote to a mom and pop ice cream store hoping to target advertising to an area with a large number of children.

Detailed demographics data is invaluable, but can be difficult to come by. It allows an organization or business to specifically target segments of the population with advertising or messaging tailored to elicit a response based on age, gender, hobbies, socio-economic status, race, ethnicity, and past purchasing habits. Accurate demographic data will allow for higher return on investment and avoid wasted resources by focusing attention to where it will be most effective, but polling is costly and time consuming, placing it outside of the realm of possibility for most businesses.

The reports in the MarketResearch.com Demographics Category represent powerful tools, available to assist organizations in better understanding their current and prospective customer base. They break down marketing trends, purchasing habits, and future trends based on the many factors listed above, as well as region, country and religion. Combining these factors, you will be able to gain invaluable insight into who your customers are, as well as who they could be in the future.
