work hard to attract Mr and Mrs Average and their wallets
the Jones live in the US... We've got the Smiths in the UK but that reminds me more of the band than an average Joe in the street...

to compete fo average consumer's spare cash/wallets/dispoasable income/money
There is always going to be competition for consumer's spare cash, never more so when there is a downturn in the economy.
Retailers are constantly trying to come up with something different to keep existing customers and draw new ones away from their rivals - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/retailandcon...

market to the average consumer
Examples:
If you want to market to the average consumer, you go through distributor channels... like Walmart or the like.
We understand the safety and product development concerns of companies that market to the average consumer.
http://www.chemir.com/consumer-goods-testing.html
Of course, there may be concerns about the accuracy of breath tests available on the market to the average consumer
Our company has a market to the average consumer, who taking into account very reasonable doubt is obviously not a professional surfer.
The firm also works with major financial services corporations advising them on how to assist and market to the average consumer
http://www.abbaassociates.com/
These characteristics also mean that the Geckskin team will be able to market to the average consumer.

to target general consumer market
Podejrzewam, że lista możliwości jest nieograniczona i wszystkie propozycje wcześniej podane są świetne, więc nie zrobię tu rewolucji; parę innych to:
try to capture ordinary consumers
compete to reach into individual consumers' pockets (tu: 'individual' w przeciwieństwie do 'business'

In a sentence:
(...) in addition to specialist insurance for business clients, the company is going to target general consumer market, too.

Discussion
Hahahahahaha :)))
Lucky, I'm not having coffee at the very moment
"Ha, ha, ha... ! That's great! Like Kowalscy say"
we have the 100-entry thread here in the EN-PL pair :)
BTW, I'm looking for a proofreader for occasional proofreading of my own texts. :) Anybody?
Can you see my answer here? No!
so, please don't speak about the winner ...
Watch me now ...
Dziękuję bardzo za burzliwą dyskusję i ogromne zainteresowanie.
"In the US: the average Joe (and Jane), the average Joe and Flo"
....... a teraz ten ktoś się z tym nie zgadza.....
mid-income families/middle-income families
which is good and was actually offered by mike23 as well :), somewhere below ...
Dariusz: tekst na 100% nie idzie do USA, a raczej do ogółu odbiorców europejskich, niekoniecznie native British, dlaczego mam tu na siłę wybierać wersję amerykańską, jeśli mam inne neutralne, które zostaną zrozumiane przez wszystkich?
Nie uważam, że wersje amerykańskie są złe, bo nie są, ale akurat tu wolę wersję neutralną.
The problem is that the flourish of source text doesn't always translates well even with the best combined efforts of a lot of great minds :)
Pomijając już tą smutną prawdę - przyznaję, przerysowaną - "Kowalskis" wywoła tylko konsternację i brak zainteresowania dla przekazu po angielsku ...
struggle/fight for Smiths and Jonses interest and trust
What do you think Mike?
or the wallets of common people
Wait a minute, does anyone know the financial standing of the Joneses? Are they low- or mid-income?
"...for the wallets of typical Kowalskis" ??
Oj, chyba nie o to chodzi. Tu chodzi o to, żeby zwykli ludzie zostali klientami tej firmy ubezpieczeniowej, która już ma silna pozycję na rynku ubezpieczeń masowych, korporacyjnych itd.
