A Definition of Market Research• “Purveyors of Consumers’ Valuable Time to Marketers”
• We Persuade Well Selected Respondents to give some of their time to answer questions,
• Which we analyse, interpret, present to marketers• I.e. We add value to the time we got from consumers
IT IS A RESEARCH SIN TO WASTE THIS VALUABLE TIME OF THE RESPONDENTS

AMPS is proudly unique to South Africa
• Nowhere in world does marketers and media owners combine to have an industry respected single source database,
• Unilever (Eddie Schulze) and SAARF developed LSM’s as a shorthand to differentiate between the haves and have-nots based on their living standard
• Prof. Jackie Galpin did the statistical analysis• Has become a South African industry norm
BUT:

This can take 10-20 minutes.
![Page 7: Q-LSMs A PROUDLY South African Solution to an uniquely South African Market Research sin Developed by: Millward Brown: Erik du Plessis Kamendra TNS: Neil](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b0ec555034607418b51d4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sufficiency versus Redundancy• Determining the LSM algorithm
– When Prof Galpin does the analysis the data has been collected. There is no need to use as few as possible variables in the classification algorithm,
– Whether the algorithm uses 28 variables, or all the variables in the AMPS survey does not matter,
– Much rather err on the side of redundancy.
• Using LSM inside the AMPS database– When using LSM for analyses inside the AMPS database the LSM is coded
per respondent.– It does not matter how many variables are used in the algorithm
• Using LSMs to collect primary data from respondents– It really matters how much time you are wasting– SUFFICIENCY is a real priority

This ‘wasting my time’
is coming back to bite us
Respondents do notfeel it is impolite
to end a cell phone or on-line interview that wastes time.
JUST CLICK THE END BUTTON!

Is Personal Income a good surrogate?Hardly
• 11 million out of 37 million said ‘No Income’, but we know they live and consume stuff and have things (Living Standard),
• 5th largest income category, nearly 1m., refused to answer the question
• Not much correlation with LSM

Accuracy of the rule:
• 23.9 million people in the non-rural universe.• 8.5 m. (36%) are LSM 7-10, this decision rule will:– Correctly identify 7.4 million (87%) of these as LSM 8-10,– Classify .78 m. LSMs 5-7 incorrectly into this category
(i.e. 9.6% of the sample)– Clasify ZERO LSM 1-4 as LSM 7-10!
• 14m. are LSM 5-7, this decision rule will:– Correctly identify 13.2m. (94%) of these as LSM 5-7,– Classify 1.1m. LSM 8-10 incorrectly in this category (7%
of sample)

Can the accuracy be improved?
YES,Just ask a few more questions!!
(I.e. Run the analysis for another layer)
Why don’t we show this?Limitation of a PowerPoint slide!

Isolating LSM C (or Not)
![Page 28: Q-LSMs A PROUDLY South African Solution to an uniquely South African Market Research sin Developed by: Millward Brown: Erik du Plessis Kamendra TNS: Neil](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b0ec555034607418b51d4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Q-LSM ‘law of diminishing returns’
• Example: if, to identify LSM 7-10, we just interview everyone at random, 36% will e correct,
• Every ‘decision rule’ will increase this percentage correct,
• With our three question decision rule we get 87% correct,
• To get 100% correct we need to ask all 28 LSM question and do the weighting,
![Page 29: Q-LSMs A PROUDLY South African Solution to an uniquely South African Market Research sin Developed by: Millward Brown: Erik du Plessis Kamendra TNS: Neil](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070307/551b0ec555034607418b51d4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Does it Matter?
• LSMs is a continuum!– Misclassification happens close to the borders of
the categories.• The whole SA population is continuously
migrating up the LSM scales!
