• Discuss audience analysis and demographics
  
• Practice demographic analysis
  Directions  I will break the class up into groups and assign each group a television show. Your group must:
  • Determine the demographics of who watches the show (see demographics sheet above for important factors).
  • Determine five products that would appeal to this demographic, and explain why. Be as specific as possible regarding the product: for instance, don't just put "car," put the type of car that would appeal to your audience. We'll discuss your answers in class.
  • Save your answers in a Word document.
  • E-mail the document to me.
