Audience threshold ideas
Narrow Nanaimo to the strongest-fit regions
Use the combined market profile as a starting point, then adjust thresholds to make the campaign audience broader or more focused.

- Use an owner-household threshold near 66.2% for home, property, renovation, and long-term service campaigns.
- Select ages 45–64 and begin near a 25.6% minimum share when that age group is central to the target audience.
- Combine thresholds so a region must satisfy every active requirement before it becomes part of the campaign selection.
