Steps in Target Marketing  Market segmentation – Dividing a market into smaller groups of buyers with distinct needs, characteristics, or behaviors requiring separate products or marketing mixes.  Target marketing – Evaluating each segment’s attractiveness and selecting one or more to enter.  Market positioning – Setting the competitive positioning for the product and creating a detailed marketing mix.
Market Segmentation  Key variables: – Geographic – Demographic – Psychographic – Behavioral  No single way to segment a market.  May combine more than one variable to better define segments.
Market Segmentation  Geographic: – World region or country – Region of country – City or metro size – Density or climate
Market Segmentation  Demographic: – Age, gender, family size, family life cycle, income, occupation, education, race, religion, etc. – The most popular bases for segmenting customer groups. – Easier to measure than most other types of variables.
Market Segmentation  Age and Life-Cycle Stage: – Example: P&G has different toothpastes for different age groups. – Avoid stereotypes in promotions. – Promote positive messages.
Market Segmentation  Income: – Identifies and targets the affluent for luxury goods. – People with low annual incomes can be a lucrative market. – Some manufacturers have different grades of products for different markets.
Market Segmentation  Psychographic: – Social class – Lifestyle – Personality
Market Segmentation  Behavioral: – Occasion segmentation • Special promotions and labels for holidays. – (e.g., Hershey Kisses) • Special products for special occasions. – (e.g., Kodak disposable cameras)
Market Segmentation  Behavioral: – Benefits Sought • Different segments desire different benefits from products. – (e.g., P&G’s multiple brands of laundry detergents to satisfy different needs in the product category)
Market Segmentation  Behavioral: – User Status • Nonusers, ex-users, potential users, first-time users, regular users – Usage Rate • Light, medium, heavy – Loyalty Status • Brands, stores, companies
Market Segmentation  Best to use multiple approaches in order to identify smaller, better-defined target groups. – Start with a single base and then expand to other bases. – Geodemographic segmentation is becoming more common.
Market Segmentation  Geodemographic: – Claritas, Inc. – Potential Rating Index for Zip Markets (PRIZM) – Based on U.S. Census data – Profiles on 260,000 U.S. neighborhoods – 62 clusters or types
Segmenting Business Markets  Consumer and business markets use many of the same variables for segmentation.  Business marketers can also use: – Operating Characteristics – Purchasing Approaches – Situational Factors – Personal Characteristics
Segmenting International Markets  Factors used: – Geographic location – Economic factors – Political and legal factors – Cultural factors  Intermarket segmentation: – Segments of consumers who have similar needs and buying behavior even though they are located in different countries.
Requirements for Effective Segmentation  Measurable  Accessible  Substantial  Differentiable  Actionable
Evaluating Market Segments  Segment Size and Growth – Analyze current segment sales, growth rates, and expected profitability.  Segment Structural Attractiveness – Consider competition, existence of substitute products, and the power of buyers and suppliers.  Company Objectives and Resources – Examine company skills & resources needed to succeed in that segment. – Offer superior value and gain advantages over competitors.
Target Marketing Strategies  Undifferentiated (mass) marketing – Ignores segmentation opportunities  Differentiated (segmented) marketing – Targets several segments and designs separate offers for each  Concentrated (niche) marketing – Targets one or a couple small segments  Micromarketing (local or individual marketing)
