‘Market Segmentation’
Market Segmentation is the sub-dividing of customers into homogenous sub-set of customers where any sub-set may conceivably selected as market target to be reached with distinct Marketing Mix – Philip Kotler

Benefits and LimitationsBenefits:The Organisation gets to know its customers better.Provides guidelines for resource allocation.It helps focus the strategy of the organisation.
Limitations:Targeting multiple segments increases marketing costs.Segmentation can lead to proliferation of products.Narrowly segmenting a market can hamper the development of broad-brand equity.

When to Segment Markets
When the expected gain in sales is largerthan the expense of the process
![Page 9: Segmentation and targeting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051617/55a4d0db1a28abc4758b46c1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Steps in Target MarketingEffective targeting requires:•Identify and profile distinct groups of buyers who differ in their needs and preferences•Select one or more market segments to enter•Establish and communicate the distinctive benefits of the market offering
![Page 11: Segmentation and targeting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051617/55a4d0db1a28abc4758b46c1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mass Marketing
Companies have not always practiced
target marketing. In fact, for most of the 1900s, major consumer products companies held fast to mass marketing--mass producing, mass distributing, and mass promoting about the same
product in about the same way to all consumers.
Advantage:lowest costs, which in turn can translate into either lower prices or higher margins.
Limitation:The proliferation of distribution channels and advertising media has also made it difficult to practice "one-size-fits-all" marketing
![Page 12: Segmentation and targeting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051617/55a4d0db1a28abc4758b46c1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Four levels of marketing segmentation
Segments
Local areas Individuals
Niches
![Page 13: Segmentation and targeting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051617/55a4d0db1a28abc4758b46c1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Segment Marketing
A company that practices segment
marketing isolates broad segments that make up a market and adapts its offers to more closely match the needs of one or more
segments.
Marriott markets to a variety of segments business travelers, families, and others--with packages adapted to their varying needs.
Advantage:•can market more efficiently, Targeting its products or services, channels, and communications programs toward only consumers that it can serve best and most profitably.
• fewer competitors.
![Page 14: Segmentation and targeting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051617/55a4d0db1a28abc4758b46c1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Examples of Segmented Marketing
– Targets several segments and designs separate offers for each.
– Coca-Cola (Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke, etc.)
– Procter & Gamble (Tide, Cheer, Gain, Dreft, etc.)
– Toyota (Camry, Corolla, Prius, Scion, etc.)
![Page 15: Segmentation and targeting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051617/55a4d0db1a28abc4758b46c1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Niche marketing
Niche marketing focuses on subgroups within these segments. A niche is a more narrowly defined group, usually identified by dividing a segment into sub segments or by defining a group with a distinctive set of traits who may seek a special combination of benefits. Whereas segments are fairly large and normally attract several competitors, niches are smaller and normally attract only one or a few competitors. Niche marketers presumably understand their niches' needs so well that their customers willingly pay a price premium
![Page 16: Segmentation and targeting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051617/55a4d0db1a28abc4758b46c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Niche Marketing
– Targets one or a couple small segments– Niches have very specialized interests
![Page 17: Segmentation and targeting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051617/55a4d0db1a28abc4758b46c1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example of niche marketing
• For example, there is a sales training expert in America who teaches financial planners how to generate referrals from customer at the close of the selling process. Therefore, he specializes in one minor part of the sales process only.
• Some non-traditional schools and other education providers could be considered niche marketers. For example, the Montessori school system appeals to a small proportion of parents, and the Montessori offering is virtually the only alternative for parents who do not want a structured/traditional education process for their kids.
• Restaurant for gun holder.

Micro Marketing
Micro marketing is the practice of tailoring products and marketing programs to suit the tastes of specific individuals and locations. Micro marketing includes local marketing and Individual marketing.
Local Marketing:Local marketing involves tailoring brands and promotions to the needs and wants of local customer groups--cities, neighborhoods, and even specific stores.
Progoti Exchange provides different mixes of exchange services in its branches depending on neighborhood demographics
Individual Marketing:
individual marketing refers to tailoring products and
marketing programs to the needs and preferences of
individual customers.
Example: IKEA home renovation, consultancy services.

Geographic Segmentation:
Geographic segmentation divides the market into geographical units such as nations, states, regions, counties, cities, or neighborhoods. The company can operate in one or a few areas, or it can operate in all but pay attention to local variations.

Market Segmentation
Requirements for Effective Segmentation
To be useful, a market segment must be:• Measurable• Accessible• Substantial• Differentiable• Actionable

![Page 41: Segmentation and targeting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051617/55a4d0db1a28abc4758b46c1/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Effective Segmentation Criteria
• Measurable: Measurable include the size, purchasing power, and profiles of the segments. EX: Gun holders restaurant
• Substantial: The segment is large and profitable enough to serve. Car for people under four feet is not sustainable.
• Accessible: The segment can be effectively reached and served.
![Page 42: Segmentation and targeting](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051617/55a4d0db1a28abc4758b46c1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Effective Segmentation Criteria
• Differentiable: The segment are conceptually distinguishable and respond differently to the different marketing mix elements and programs. Ex: Perfume for married and unmarried women is not different.
• Actionable: Effective program can be formulated for attracting and serving the segment.

• Target Marketing-• Is a market segmentation and market coverage strategy
whereby a product is developed and marketed for a very well-defined, specific segment of the consumer population.
• Target marketing is particularly effective for small companies with limited resources because it enables the company to achieve a strong market position in the specific market segment it serves without mass production, mass distribution, or mass advertising. It enables firms to capitalize on the respective serve market share

• Targeting multiple segments may result in cost economies
