Moreover, Burberry as well as other brands can no longer conventionally position themselves as advances in technology and internet fragmented traditional audiences and empowered consumers, who are now product savvy and group into smaller and smaller psychographic segments. Adaptable positioning would help communicate the brand to many different audiences so to keep relevancy and psychographic analysis is the tool to achieve it. Psychographic analysis attempts to measure lifestyles of consumers; in contrast to demographics, such as age, gender, and education, psychographics is a way that marketers tie psychological traits to consumption (Heath, 1995). It is useful for market segmentation, improving positioning of a product or service, and also provides with insights in developing new marketing and communication strategies for brands and its products.
