RESEARCH STRATEGY
We have used different strategies to find information specifically for tech-savvy adults with high income in Kuwait for ages 25-40 years old. We started by looking at different government sites such as the Central Statistical Bureau to find demographic variables such as population representation of the age group 25-40 years old in Kuwait, including how many of them are high-income earners. However, this did not give information on statistics on 25-40 years old, tech-savvy, high-income earners in Kuwait. What we found on this website is general statistics which originally came from the CIA, however, there was no information on income statistics for each age bracket nor how tech-savvy this group is.
Next, we looked for industry reports from Deloitte, Ipsos, IJCA to look for studies about Kuwait age group 25-40 years old. These companies provide global reports, and therefore, they possibly made or conducted one specific for the Kuwait population or millennials to be specific. While we found many studies about millennials, however, most of them were not specific to Kuwait but for generally labeled as GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) which comprises different Gulf countries. The only tidbit of information was provided, but the majority of this information is for general GCC millennials.
Lastly, we looked for specific traditional and digital marketing agencies in Kuwait such as Pencilvent, SparkMEA, OptimizeKW, Raybal and other similar sites. Marketing companies usually provide fact sheet, overview and other marketing publications about specific knowledge in the country they do business with. However, there was limited information for such publications found, and while they indeed do business in the country, many of the information found on these websites were about services offered, list of clients, etc.
The lack of information is due to the specificity of the target subject criteria and the fact that Kuwait and other Gulf countries are too small and are normally grouped in reports.
