Customer Segmentation

While this group mostly consists of college or university students who like to read free content, the group increasingly subscribes to digital editions of their favorite publications. According to a recent survey by Statista, young adults read more magazines than any other age group in the United States, which is why this group will be the biggest contributor in the magazine’s sales.
- Affluent Consumers: The second target group is comprised of affluent consumers who are interested in hobbies and leisure activities such as wine and travel, and are more likely to pay a premium for high-quality print editions.
- One-time purchasers: The Company will place magazines at newsstands and airports in order to target consumers who do not maintain a subscription, but who are interested in the current edition of the magazine.
- Companies: The magazine will offer ad space to various companies and businesses located across the United States.
