Valassis Hosts 'Dynamic Differences in the Haves and Have Nots' Webcast on June 18

LIVONIA, Mich., June 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Valassis (NYSE: VCI), a leader in intelligent media delivery, announced today that it will host a free webcast from 2 to 3 p.m. ET Tuesday, June 18 focused on the Haves and the Have Nots, two very different consumers groups–who they are and how their media usage and their shopping habits differ.  

Therese Mulvey, Valassis Vice President of Marketing Intelligence, will present solutions on how to connect, influence and activate these consumers wherever they plan, shop, buy and share. This is the fourth year Mulvey has shared her expertise of the evolution of the consumer landscape in this popular Valassis Webcast on the media and consumer landscape.

"The new consumer landscape is one of 'Have' and 'Have Nots' with a shrinking middle class," Mulvey said. "These diverse groups have created a challenge for those who want to advertise to them as they are very different."

The Have and Have Nots are based on the current phenomenon that 40% of U.S. households account for 75% of the income and 60% of the households 25% of the income. Based on the mean household income, households that make $62,000 and above are considered Haves and under $62,000 are Have Nots.  The webcast will explore the media habits and usage for both income-based audiences, what channels they're shopping, what quick service restaurants (QSRs) they frequent and which brands they prefer, and what ultimately motivates each group to buy.  

Highlights of the webcast include:

• The Have Nots might not have the money, but they do have the numbers.  Find out in which categories they outspend the Haves;
• These groups have different buying styles and tend to respond to different offer types; and
• On the surface, the Have Nots and Haves have similar media habits, but a closer look at each groups' composition shows us just how different they really are.
