profile of zag reader
1) Zag readers are in a highly desirable LSM category:
73% of Zag readers are in LSM 8-10. This is very high – particularly when
you consider that only 22% of the entire population fall into LSM 8-10.
50% of Zag readers are in LSM 9-10 – again high in comparison to the 15%
of the total population in LSM 9-10.
2) Zag readers are affluent:
27% of Zag readers have an average monthly household income of R25
000 or more. Only 6% of the entire population falls into this household
income category.
In fact a higher percent of Zag readers than all LSM 8-10 individuals (24%)
fall into this household income category.
3) Zag readers have a desirable consumer profile:
Zag readers are twice as likely as the average individual to have bought a
watch costing R700 or more in the past 12 months.
They are 2.6 times more likely to have bought aftershave for R300 or more.
By way of comparison; 11.5% of Zag readers bought a watch for R700+
compared to 10.2% of all LSM 8-10’s.
4) Zag readers are financially sophisticated
Zag readers are 8.7 times more likely than the average individual to have a
home loan. Only 1.7% of the entire population has a home loan/mortgage.
14.7% of all Zag readers have a home loan – high even compared to the
6.4% of all LSM’s 8-10
Furthermore, 4.9% of Zag readers have investments/sub/paid up shares
compared to 4.4% of all LSM’s 8-10.

& other bold predictions for 2012
This is why Indonesia continues to astound us. More
than 35 years after Nias was initially discovered by
Kevin Lovett and John Giesel in 1975, this is the first
time this new mega-tube has properly felt the inside
pages of a magazine – despite it being within two hours
of the famous Lagundri Bay lineup. Giesel lost his life
to the magical wave he co-pioneered when he died of
malaria contracted while staying in the village, but he
paved the way for countless other surfers in search of
the perfect setup. Matt Bromley only lost a bit of skin
while scoping out this new benchmark for perfection,
and lived to tell the tale on page 32.
