Target Audience: Demographics andPsychographics
The target audience for this is ad is college students between the ages of 18 and 25
and who want a place to see the latest films that Hollywood has to offer. They are
typically students with a little money to burn, who have cars, friends, and have a
love for film and have favorite actors and actresses. If there isn’t a film they are
interested in seeing right now, there will be. Hollywood releases several dozen films
a year and they make over 10 billion dollars each year.
The average target audience is about 20 years old. Most college students graduate
about 21 to 22 though we are trying to appeal to all college students.
Members of the target audience have busy lives but by appealing to them through
advertisements to check out their local movie theatre we are hoping that when they
do find themselves having free time that they will want to go to the movies. This
audience is the perfect audience to appeal to because they are the ones that listen to
2. ads the most and are willing to spend some of their money, no matter how much
they have, on seeing a film, especially if the film has good word of mouth or a
favorite actor or actress.
