More likely to be women than men.
New flavours and better-for-you snacks likely to chime with these users.
Budgeters (23%) Relatively restrained usage of snacks. Price prioritised by three quarters of Budgeters. May respond to products messages relating to value, provenance and health.
Enthusiasts Strongly driven by under-35s. High engagement with the market with above-average usage for most types of snack.
Indulgents (12%) Likely to be heavy users of standard crisps, while neglecting other snack types. Likely to be inflexible and stick to their favourite flavours and brands.
Undriven Despite having a wide snacking repertoire, this group is vague in terms of choice factors and attitudes. Flavour and brand name are perhaps the two most likely factors to engage these users.
