2 TARGET MARKET PRODUCT “healthy” carob (chocolate substitute) bars TARGET MARKET RESEARCH My target market is: Parent with children under 55 years DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS a slight male skew, is under age 55, tends to live in a medium-high income household and is likely to be a parent with children in the household PSYCHOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS Urban consumers are more likely than suburban and rural consumers to be bar purchasers, though greater insight is found in how urban consumers purchase bars. Parents are long-term staple targets of the bar category, and their engagement has only intensified through the pandemic timeframe. Among the audience, fathers show greater involvement than mothers, as well as stronger growth in purchases from 2019-22. 62% of Gen Z consumers purchase snack bars, representing a significant generational overindex.
