- 14. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS RETAILERS Index = 100 Base: All Adults 15+ In this example we can see that Review Researchers are most likely to shop at John Lewis rather than Sony stores, whereas Technology Trendspotters are far more likely to purchase consumer electronics from Sony. The retailer, Sony, under-represents in the Prudent Purchasers segment, so therefore they may whish to appeal to their interest in promotions and special offers. Whilst at the same time keeping Technology Trendspotters and Image Idolisers engaged with their electrical products. Source: GB TGI 2013 Q4

Editor's Notes
- #21: The WHY code is a suite of tool build around 4 key steps that our clients can follow when analysing consumers motivations. This sequence of analysis takes us on a journey in the consumers’ minds, CLICK from their most conscious motives to their least conscious ones. CLICK The first step, the rationale, explores the consumers’ rational and conscious choices. CLICK The second step regards values which can be conscious or semi conscious and how they can drive categories usage. This can be done through the study of lifestyle statementsCLICK With the third step we switch towards the more unconscious side of our consumers’ brains, by getting in touch with their deep imagery.

They enjoy the highest level of income and have achieved at least a degree. They are generally discerning, likely for instance to check the provenance of products and are generally happy to pay a premium for superior service or quality. In terms of cultural practice, this is where your most likely to find your opera goers.CLICK Now let’s pick a group whose capital is predominantly cultural. For these the capital is overall low, but skuuuwed toward the cultural side. They enjoy modest income and have achieved some level of further qualifications after their A level. They tend to feel quite an inner tension between their ambitions and dreams and their frustrations. Looking at their artistic practice we observe their propensity to sing, so perhaps potential candidate for talent shows. So in a similar manner we can visualise all the groups.
