Consumer Segmentation: The Big CE Spenders

Consumer Segmentation: The Big CE Spenders segments the market for consumer electronics and analyzes the consumers that typically spend $1,000 or more each year on CE devices. It identifies their demographic characteristics, purchasing behaviors, and brand/retail store preferences. It also analyzes their role in the broader market for consumer electronics.

“A core group of 'Big Spenders' accounts for a substantial piece of the CE market. These consumers don’t necessarily purchase high-end models, but they purchase a lot of devices. Products that cater to their needs will have better odds of success in the market.” - John Barrett, Director, Consumer Analytics, Parks Associates
