    1. Demographics<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Demographic data includes any quantifiable characteristics of a person:\u00a0 Age, gender, income, education, social status, family, company position occupation can tell a lot about person\u2019s need and interest. The more information you can get about your audience in the sign-up process, the more options you\u2019ll have for demographic segmentation. Decide which metrics are most essential for your business and include those questions in the signup process. Age and gender are two of the most common forms of demographic segmentation because consumer preferences continually change with age. Almost all marketing campaigns target age-specific audiences.
