  • GEO-DEMOGRAPHIC LIFESTYLE SEGMENTATION SYSTEM ANALYSIS The MicroVision™ system, developed by Equifax, organizes the population into 50 different lifestyles. The lifestyle segment names are somewhat self-descriptive. An analysis utilizing this system shows that more than half of our audience falls within just five of these segments:
        • A Good Step Forward
        • Mid-Life Success
        • Great Beginnings
        • Home Sweet Home
        • Movers and Shakers
    All these lifestyles, whether young or mature, single or family, are marked by high education and income, careers in management/professional or technical/sales fields, and above average credit/installment activity. A profile of a typical ticket-buyer would be a female professional in her 40s, who: drives an imported automobile; drinks domestic wine; watches Arts & Entertainment and the American Movie Classics channels on cable; exercises regularly; attends live theater; carries the American Express card; listens to classical, news/talk, and easy listening radio stations; reads news, epicurean, and business/finance magazines; and travels abroad frequently.
