low income neighborhoods. These are the types of things that good marketers consider on a daily basis.

People who live in the same (1) neighborhood, (2) subdivision, (3) school district, (4) voting precinct, (5) suburb, (6) apartment complex, (7) city, (8) metropolitan area, (9) county, (10) state, (11) region, (12) country etc. often share the same problems associated with living in that area. For instance, people who live in North Dakota deal with cold weather and snow in the wintertime while people who live in Houston deal with excessive humidity in the summertime. People who live in Los Angeles have to deal with smog, while people who live in the Heritage Park subdivision here in Friendswood, Texas dont have access to a good local dry cleaners. 4.

Examples of subcultures are people who Hate Bill Clinton Love Marilyn Manson Hate paying taxes Love toy poodles Hate abortion Love new marketing ideas Hate website popups Love Harley Davidsons Hate foreign cars Love guns Hate companies cutting down forest trees Love having sex Hate pornography Okay, you get the idea. Each of the people in these "Love - Hate" categories will spend money to either get what they love or spend money to avoid what they hate. Other
