AudienceSCAN® is SalesFuel’s proprietary annual study of online shoppers, digital audiences and consumer behavior in America
Now in its 13th year, this in-depth analysis of over 15,500 U.S. online adult consumers gives you the exclusive insight to better understand what’s in the hearts and minds of your account’s best customers.
More than 1,355 customer groups are profiled with details on consumer behavior, purchase intent, digital+technology usage, health+wellness concerns, automotive preferences, leisure interests, dining habits and more.
Business development specialists use AudienceSCAN to identify new markets, new opportunities and new channel partners. Marketers can use AudienceSCAN data to reach the people who count (instead of counting the people they reach), while crafting a message with impact to those who are most likely to buy.

METHODOLOGY
Every year, SalesFuel sets out to learn more about the people in the United States who are most likely to have similar interests or attitudes about a particular product, service or subject. The purpose of this research is not only to identify them demographically and geographically, but more importantly, psychographically, to understand what is in the hearts and minds of these potential customers. This proprietary study, now in its 13th year, has become widely known as AudienceSCAN.
In May and June, 2022, SalesFuel surveyed an online consumer panel of 27,310 adults that was representative of the adult population of the United States. 15,500 adults fully completed the AudienceSCAN survey.
All online survey interviewees were screened to identify and verify personal information, location and demographics and to delete all duplicate/multiple entries. The survey respondents were controlled by geographic region, age, race and ethnicity, income, and gender to accurately reflect the adult population of the United States.
