Segmentation in Action
A Marriott Hotel used to be a Marriott Hotel: An
upscale hotel catering to business people, pleasure
seekers and international and group travelers.
Today, besides the Marriott Hotels (the company’s
major business), there are Marriott Suites,
Residence Inns, Courtyards by Marriott and
Fairfield Inns—each serving a smaller, targeted
segment of the market.

Segmentation in Action
We segment our customers by letter volume, by postage
volume, by the type of equipment they use. Then we
segment on whether they buy or lease equipment.
Based on this knowledge, we target our marketing
messages, fine tune our sales tactics, learn which
benefits appeal to which customers and zero in on key
decision makers at a company.

Segmentation
If you’re not thinking segments, you’re not
thinking. To think segments means you
have to think about what drives customers,
customer groups, and the choices that are
or might be available to them.

Segmentation Marketing Implies a “Market”
A market consists of all the potential
customers sharing a particular need or
want who might be willing and able to
engage in exchange to satisfy that need
or want.

Implications
1. Segmentation defines common customer needs.
2. Those common needs may be satisfied by similar or dissimilar technologies or have different solutions.
Ex: Customer dissatisfaction at long delays at supermarket checkout.
Solution 1:Faster UPC scanner systems.
Solution 2:Entertainment/Sales systems on checkout lines.
Note: Total solution defines (competitive) market, not product or technology.

A Note on Positioning
Positioning involves designing an offering so that the target segment members perceive it in a distinct and valued way relative to competitors.
Three ways to position an offering:
1. Unique (“Only product/service with XXX”)
2. Difference (“More than twice the [feature] vs.
[competitor]”)
3. Similarities (“Same functionality as [competitor];
lower price”)
What are you telling your targeted segments?

Steps in a Segmentation Study
Articulate a strategic rationale for segmentation (ie, why are we segmenting this market?).
Select a set of needs-based segmentation variables most useful for achieving the strategic goals.
Select a cluster analysis procedure for aggregating (or disaggregating customers) into segments.
Group customers into a defined number of different segments.
Choose the segments that will best serve the firm’s strategy, given its capabilities and the likely reactions of competitors.

Cluster Analysis forSegmenting Markets
Define a measure to assess the similarity of customers on the basis of their needs.
Group customers with similar needs. The software uses the “Ward’s minimum variance criterion” and, as an option, the K-Means algorithm for doing this.
Select the number of segments using numeric and strategic criteria, and your judgment.
Profile the needs of the selected segments (e.g., using cluster means).

Ward’s Minimum Variance Agglomerative Clustering Procedure
First Stage: A = 2 B = 5 C = 9 D =10 E = 15
Second Stage: AB = 4.5 BD = 12.5
AC = 24.5 BE = 50.0
AD = 32.0 CD = 0.5
AE = 84.5 CE = 18.0
BC = 8.0 DE = 12.5
Third Stage: CDA = 38.0 CDB = 14.0 CDE = 20.66 AB =5.0
AE = 85.0 BE = 50.5
Fourth Stage: ABCD = 41.0 ABE= 93.17 CDE =25.18
Fifth Stage: ABCDE = 98.8

Interpreting Cluster Analysis Results
Select the appropriate number of clusters:
Are the bases variables highly correlated? (Should we reduce the data through factor analysis before clustering?)
Are the clusters separated well from each other?
Should we combine or separate the clusters?
Can you come up with descriptive names for each cluster (eg, professionals, techno-savvy, etc.)?
Segment the market independently of your ability to reach the segments (ie, separately evaluate segmentation and discriminant analysis results).
