Geodemography refers to those analytical techniques that combine data on consumer expenditures and other socio-economic factors with geographic information about the area in which people live,in order to identify consumers who share common consumption patterns. Geodemography is based on the assumption that "birds of a feather flock together." The idea is that like-minded people with similar tastes and needs locate near one another. Knowing the location of these groups makes it more viable for marketers to reach them,e.g.,through direct mailings. To obtain a clearer picture of the Canadian consumer,the geographic information is combined with other data,such as single-source data.
Single-source data is the compilation of information that includes different aspects of consumption and demographic data for a common consumer segment. When the information about a person's actual purchasing history is combined with the geodemographic data,marketers can determine which marketing strategies these consumers respond to or ignore. Such comprehensive strategies enable marketers to test the impact of changes in such areas as advertising,pricing,shelf-placement promotions,etc. on consumer behaviour patterns.
