2) Secondary - the product is not designed for them, however they can view it because of their family, friends or children and many more factors.
3) Tertiary - they would slightly be interested in the product because of a particular factor e.g. their favourite actor/actress stars init, but would not usually see or read it.

Target audiences will include the following:
