Local Pro Tip

In the case of high-priced goods such as overseas trips and cars, depending on the survey content, it might be better to focus only on respondents with high income. On the other hand, there is no need to set up conditions based on income for products consumed in a relatively short period such as drinks, foods, cosmetics (consumer goods for daily use), etc.
