Sonar

    Sonar is a truly unique and powerful segmentation system that classifies all households and residents in the country according to the type of neighbourhood in which they live. The objectives of the Sonar classification are to provide a powerful and unique tool for consumer segmentation and market planning which is highly effective at identifying the target audiences you wish to reach in a simple and easily understood way.
