6. Lifestyle groupings The advertising agency Young and Rubicam divided the population into the following four main lifestyle groups: Mainstreamers "These people want security, to play it safe. They tend to conform, they do not want to stand out from the crowd or be controversial, they like to buy brand names. They will be attracted by pensions adverts. They shop at high-street stores such as M & S“ Aspirers "These are interested in material success and the trappings that go with it. They are outward-looking types, they like novelty and gimmicks. They like status symbols such as the Porsche and Rolex. Designers labels are important to them."

7. http://www.free-definition.com/List-of-lifestyles.html Lifestyle groupings Succeeders "These are people who have already achieved some status in their lives, either through birth or through their work. Their main driving force is their wish to control. They are less ostentatious than the aspirers. They do not flaunt their money. They have classic tastes, for example preferring the Rolls Royce to the flash sports car. They identify with products which command respect and not just material envy." Reformers "This is the most educated group, who are interested in public and social concerns - not just concern for themselves and their immediate families. They wouldn't necessarily buy branded goods, or things just because they were cheap. However, they might actively seek out something environmentally friendly. People from the education and caring sectors are well represented in this group."
