Local, Domestic, International or never? Where do they shop for food?

WholeFoods, Kmart? Do they get the news?

TV, Online, Cable, RSS or Newspaper? Kindle or books? Flip phone, Android or iPhone?

Dine out? Fast food or farm to table? Any children? How many and how old?

If they don’t have children, why? Any pets? How many and what are they? What type of home do they currently live in? Who (if anyone) shares their home? How many friends do they have? Explore this further by asking how many

close friends they have vs. more casual acquaintances.

WHAT DO THEY CARE ABOUT?
