Geographics

In market research, geographics refers to the use of geographic or location-based variables to divide or segment a population. These methods group respondents according to geographic or political boundaries such as country, region, county, city, town or postcode.

Geographic segmentation allows researchers to identify differences in attitudes, behaviours or needs between people living in different areas. For example, a list of respondents might be divided by country, county, region, town or postcode to explore regional variations in product usage, brand awareness or customer satisfaction.

Geographics are often used alongside other segmentation approaches, such as demographics or behavioural data, to build a more complete understanding of target audiences. This can help organisations tailor their marketing strategies, communications and service delivery to suit the specific characteristics of different geographic markets.
