TARGET “Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.” -Arthur Schopenhauer
OVERVIEW Our target demographic is women ages 18-25. These women are in different stages of their lives and are driven
by different motivations. They seek out relationships that align themselves with these motivations. While their motivations can shift several times throughout their lives, the one constant is their faith in whatever motivates them. It is this dynamic that creates the Mary Kay woman - a woman anchored by faith, family, and career.

WHAT FAITH MEANS TO THE MARY KAY WOMAN Faith is true understanding through experience and investigation. This idea anchors the target to their purpose,
no matter what their focus is. It allows them to pursue more and value what they already have. Establishing the target’s faith in Mary Kay will result in increased clients and IBCs.
