Marketing in San Diego: what to account for

San Diego is a market with high income and an educated audience: 1.41 million residents, a median household income of $108,077, and 51% of adults with a bachelor’s degree or higher. The audience compares and does the math, so the landing page has to answer to the point.

Income and ticket size

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, median household income in San Diego is $108,077 a year. For comparison: $80,483 in New York and $81,939 in Los Angeles. For a high-ticket product what matters is not the cost per lead but the share of leads that reach a purchase.

Audiences: education and languages

51% of residents aged 25 and over hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, 39% speak a language other than English at home, 17.6% are Asian and 29.8% are Hispanic or Latino. The audience reads and compares: the landing page has to answer the question at once and to the point.

Geo: miles by car

San Diego has 4,256 people per square mile and a mean travel time to work of 23.5 minutes. We set a wider radius around the point of sale than in dense cities and test several zones as separate ad sets.

E-commerce: learning from purchases

A B2B aesthetic medicine supplier for clinics in the US: Google Ads with server-side order data. $96,500 in spend, $900,000 in ad revenue. The algorithms buy traffic for paid orders, not cheap clicks.

We know the San Diego market

We have run local businesses and DTC brands in the United States, and we know what sets San Diego apart: high household income, an educated audience and car-based geo.

Income
