Key Points
Market Segmentation:
- Market Segmentation is the term given to the grouping of customers with similar needs by a number of different variables.
- Once this has been done, segments can be targeted by a number of targeting strategies.
- The stage that then follows is known as positioning which is the place that products or services occupy in the marketplace in relation to the competition, as perceived by the target market.
- The underlying principle of market segmentation is that individual customers have different product and service needs.
- Mass marketing, the marketing of a single product to everyone, is rarely a viable strategy, just as it is to customize products to an individual.
