YOU’RE STILL TALKING TO PEOPLE NOT ‘SEGMENTS’
THEY ALL HAVE BRAINS
“My husband takes care of everything to do with the car”
“Yes my tyres have 1.8mm of
tread so I’m fine”
“I check my pressure every time I fill up to
keep the car safe”
“My car is only two
months old so its tyres are fine”
“I use mum and dad’s car - why
should I check?”

MOTs and servicing, he’s also checking tyres

before long journeys.Check tread, pressure and
condition.How to check
HOME SAFELY ON SAFE TYRES
Janine McCarthy explained:
“TyreSafe’s campaign is so important
and I want everyone to listen and act
on the message ‘Home safely on safe
tyres’. I was lucky, but defective and
illegal tyres can ruin lives. As new
mums-to-be, we pack our hospital
bags with everything we need and
check our baby car seats – but we
need to add CHECK TYRES to our
pre-baby checklist.”

SUMMARY – SEGMENTATION & TARGETING
• Segmentation is a highly valuable tool
• Low cost research can be drawn from ‘in-house’ sources
• Segmentation groupings are useful but don’t be afraid to blur the boundaries
• Stay fresh by considering how the message can be biased towards specific groups
• Understand and use the tonality of the target – expect to risk moving away from ‘corporate’ tone
