The whatsonnortheast.com audience
ANE carried out postcode analysis of its webclub members in July 2009. The analysis used Mosaic profiling to form a picture of the types of people that use the website. The results show that the website attracts visitors from all over the UK, but particularly the north east. The website attracts a higher than average proportion of the following socioeconomic groups:
- Symbols of Success – people with rewarding careers who live in sought after locations, affording luxuries and premium quality products.
- Happy Families - families with focus on career and home, mostly younger age groups now raising children.
- Suburban Comfort – families who are successfully established in comfortable, mature homes. Children are growing up and finances are easier.
- Urban Intelligence – young, single and mostly well educated, these people are cosmopolitan in tastes and liberal in attitudes
ANE also conducted an electronic survey of its webclub in January 2010. The survey revealed that the webclub is full of unusually 'arty' people:
- 83% attended a live music event in the last year (national average is 61.6% - source TGI data)
- 86% attended theatre in the last year (national average is 42.2% - source TGI data)
- 39% attended a dance performance in the last year (national average is 15.6% - source TGI data)
- 32% sing or play a musical instrument (national average is 11% - source Taking Part data)
