One of the most well-known segmentation systems is The Values and Lifestyles System, also called VALS2. It is based on segments grouped by self-orientation and resources. Self-orientation may be based on ideals, achievement, and self-expression. Resources range from high to low.
Innovators are those whose high resources result in less emphasis on self-orientation. Strugglers are those whose low resources also result in little emphasis on self-orientation.
