Audience threshold ideas
Narrow Waterloo 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.
- Start with a household-income threshold near $90,137 and raise it to isolate regions with greater purchasing-power potential.
- Use an owner-household threshold near 57.2% for home, property, renovation, and long-term service campaigns.
- Select ages 15–29 and begin near a 29.3% 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.
