It is not a novelty, but still an interesting phenomenae how people can be segmented or profiled by the products they consume. Another reason why marketing is great. You can find out so much about a person based on the info where she/he shops, what he/she eats, where he/she vacations, what he/she reads and what recreation the both choose. Ask 10 questions about the person’s lifestyle, ask the brand names and you can craft a profile. Perceptions do matter. Brands become ways for us to signal about our wants and needs, existent or aspired and this is a valuable piece of data!

There are some dangers when trying to over segment consumers. The Long Tail suggests there are so many infinite choices for consumers, that pretty much every individual has a unique buying pattern.

Jeremiah, I guess I did not mean the buying behavior analysis in this post, rather a note that if you have 10 mins to make an assessment about a person, ask those questions and the profile would show up. I would defenitely check in with the Long Tail and see his point of view
