Who is the target audience?


Companies design different brands for different groups of people. Take a look at the three brands of Cheerios in this post.

What are some of the techniques that General Mills uses to sell each brand of Cheerios that they make? Who is the target audience for each of the brands?
How do they change the box design to appeal to the different audiences? Look carefully and deconstruct each box by analyzing all the details.

The honey nut Cheerios have 9g of sugar. The regular Cheerios have 1g. Moms would really go for that. The fruity Cheerios also have 9g. The adults would go for the regular Cheerios because they only have 1g of sugar.It is important to read the side of the box and not go by the cover because if you just look at the cover you don't know how many grams of sugar it has. Maybe it has too much sugar and it is not healthy.Sarah Rose blog 3U

With the Honey Nut Cheerios they try to get kids and adults to buy. For the kids they have the bee. And for the adults they have a heart for good publicity. This way they can get people of all ages. This one has 110 calories , 9g of sugar , 190mg of sodium , and 1.5g* of fat in total. Out of all the Cheerios the Honey Nut Cheerios have the most calories and has the second to most # of total fat out of all the boxes. My favorite is Honey Nut Cheerios.Kassandra 3u

Short term loans for bad credit are not as misleading. Criticism label them as such, because they attract low-income families to short term payday loans money for high interest rates. If you do not have other sources of additional funding, of course, they are likely to be victims of short term loans for bad credit. However, this need is not always the case. As long as you know how to control themselves and the time that can short term loans distinguish logical and honest "emergency" of "quasi-emergency", then you will not have to deal with the financial problems arising from short term loans.
