Not all 45- to 55-year-old with a household income between $50,000 and $75,000 have the same buying significance and spending lifestyle. On this ground, fixed demographic data should not be used as the bricks of a well-defined customer segmentation structure. Demographic data may be used to describe customer segments (profiling), but it is much less effective in distinguishing interests and spending habits than customer behavioral information combined with demographic data.
