Ifyou know of other companies that do this type of work, feel free to use them instead of this link.Please provide me with the link if you decide to blaze your own trail. OK … here’s the topic.Initial Research (this will be fun):Go to the Claritas (which I believe is now owned by Nielsen)https://essays.homeworkacetutors.com/write-my-essay/claritas.com/MyBestSegments/Default.jsp (note that other companies also do thistype of work, so feel free to check them out instead of Claritas if that is your preference).?o Click on the tab that says SEGMENT EXPLORERo Familiarize yourself with the various clusterso What cluster do you think you are in?o Use the menu on the left and see what cluster you are in.o Repeat this for some people that you knowo Click on the “Zip Code” Lookup and see the people in your neighborhood.
