Demographic Targeting
Use Our Data to Find the Right People


SM Research can provide multiple methods using demographic, attitudinal and behavioural data to target the samples.

The standard Census information by Statistics Canada

There over 1000 variable to choose. The most common variables are:
  • The incidence rate of the population with the targeted age and gender
  • The incidence rate of family with children
  • The incidence rate of home owners or renters
  • Average household income
  • Average dwelling value
The consumer profile from BBM RTS

BBM conducts the national surveys and publish the data twice a year. In this large scale survey, there are over 5000 consumer profile variables can be chosen. This method is especially useful to target the small incidence samples. For example:
  • Snowmobile users: The overall incidence rate is about 5%. We can greatly raise the sample incidence rate by selecting the high usage areas.
  • Regular curling players: The overall incidence rate is below 2%. We can greatly raise the sample incidence rate by selecting the high usage areas.
The pinpointed samples from Sample Home Canada

Sample Home Canada contains millions residential records collected from the mailing questionnaires. In this database the households meeting the specific conditions can be requested. The available conditions are:
  • Any geography can be targeted at the PC level
  • Major demographics, such as Age & Gender, Household Size, Household Income, Marital Status, Home Ownership, Employment, etc
  • Consumer behaviours, such as Banking, Credit Card Usage, Investment, Car Ownership, Internet Access, Hobby, Home & Garden, Leisure Activity, Mail Order, Pets, Reading, Sporting, Social Concerns, Travel, Important Event Attendance, Nutritional & Diet, Family Health, etc
Popularly used consumer cluster

The consumer cluster system "Canacode" developed by Manifold Datamining Inc targets consumers at postal code level.

SMR Index

Based on the CHAID tree analysis, SM Research can attach the index value to each consumer. The value is calculated the expected incidence rate of the consumer against the over incidence rate of the population. Therefore, the higher the index value, the better targeted the record is.

SM Research has used this technique to help many companies to reach their potential consumers that usually are difficult to reach because the overall incidence rate is too low.
