Notes

NRS Social Grades?

Get information about what people read and their social background
categorise people in how much they earn class and job

A, B, C1 are the ones with most "Disposable income" and so C2, D, E are the ones who earn less and have not as much "Disposable income"


20,000,000 of the population in the UK are targeted by Bauer out of 63,000,000
People will want to focus on A, B or C1 because they can have more adverts because the people with more income will be able to afford the things in the adverts
