¶ … marketing research. There is one reference used.
When marketing a product or service, it's vital to know who you want to reach. There are various factors that go into determining your target audience.
This paper looks into some of the statistics that may aid you in your research.
Cumberland County SPCA
The Cumberland County SPCA has the problem of being, as they put it "invisible." One of their main problems is knowing the groups of individuals they want to reach so they can find homes for their animals.
Age
Age can be a factor for many reasons. Families with young children may be looking for that first puppy to love and help teach the child responsibility.
Young adults just graduating from college may want a kitten for companionship in their first apartment. When the children all leave home, those who are in their 40's and 50's may fill the void created by looking at a young dog or cat.
The elderly suffering from loneliness after losing a spouse may benefit from an older dog or cat who needs them as much they need it.
In...
70.8% of the population is over 21, with a total of 28.5% of the population over 62.
This lets the SPCA know they have several possible homes for their older animals. With 25.4% of the population under the age of 18, the SPCA has a good chance of finding homes for their kittens and puppies (http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/34/34011.html).
Housing
Another item that needs to be looked is the types of housing available. Residences with big yards are perfect for the larger breed dogs. A farm can benefit from having cats, which keep mice under control. Dogs are good for a farm, also. They can help herd livestock and help keep wild animals such as foxes and wolves away.
Those who live in apartments or condos may find a cat or small dog is better suited for them.
In Cumberland County, 65.1% of the housing is one-unit detached homes. This is encouraging to the SPCA since dogs are more likely to be adopted by homeowners who have yards. 67.9% of the population own their own homes, meaning more people can adopt an animal without…
This is just one instance of the critical need for this link between supplier and buyer, yet there are many, many more that are specific production, product customization, pricing, services, and support. Synchronizing the customers' demands with the supply chain is critical for any virtual corporation to compete globally (Manufacturing Engineer 2005).

Were the subjects giving their answers or the answers that the interviewers were trying to elicit? The lack of uniformity in the interview process makes that an impossible question to answer. The focus groups themselves also had some basic problems. Besides being relatively small, they were not anonymous. In fact, each participant's name was recorded on a note card at the onset of the discussion. According to the case study,
Marketing Research According to Green and Tool (1993) "Marketing research is the systematic and objective search for, and analysis of, information relevant to the identification and solution of any problem in the field of marketing." The main aim of marketing research is to enable the beneficiary to take some steps, some that may be risky, though with confidence hence the need for observing absolute objectivity.
