Issued by: Knowledge Factory


South African marketing insights company, Knowledge Factory, has announced the release of IncomePlus*, a geo-demographic segmentation tool that enables the analysis of household income at the suburb level. Another recent addition to the company's popular Plus* product suite, is IncomePlus* which provides marketing strategists with fresh insight into suburban income and wealth distributions.

“This is an excellent tool for financial services and lending institutions,” observes Geraldine Mitchley, Business Development Executive at Knowledge Factory, “since it offers an additional, efficient way of quickly profiling prospects as well as existing customersand adds an extra level of sophistication to the overall decision making process.”

IncomePlus* combines the results of the SAARF All Media and Products Survey (AMPS) with Census data and geo-demographic information from Knowledge Factory's other products to accurately predict the likely distribution of household incomes within a particular suburb. “Essentially, IncomePlus* puts households into income categories and works out how many households within a suburb are likely to fall into each category,” explains Mitchley.

There are ten income categories and the divisions become smaller as the income value rises. The diminishing income category sizes revealing increasing amounts of detail and subtle income distinctions in the wealthier suburbs. “This feature is particularly useful for businesses engaged in customer acquisition drives that need to locate prospects with qualified incomes,” notes Mitchley.
