Customers, Segmentation,And Targetmarketing Customers, CHAPTER Segmentation,and TargetMarketing 5 H I INTRODUCTION G G In this chapter, we begin our discussion of marketing strategy by examining custo- mers, segments, and target markets. In Chapter 1, weS referred to a market as a col- lection of buyers and sellers. Now, we focus our, attention on the buyers who collectively make up the major portion of most markets. From this perspective, we concern ourselves with markets as individuals, institutions, or groups of individuals or institutions that have similar needs that can be metS by a particular product offer- ing. As we shall see, firms can attempt to reach all buyers in a market, smaller groups or segments of the market, or even specific buyers onH an individual level. Whether the firm aims for the entire market or smaller marketA segments, the goal of market- ing strategy is to identify specific customer needs, then design a marketing program that can satisfy those needs. To do this effectively, theN firm must have a comprehen- sive understanding of its current and potential customers,I including their motiva- tions, behaviors, needs, and wants. The ability to determine in-depth information aboutC customers is a fairly recent phenomenon in marketing. Fifty years ago, for example,Q technology and marketing know-how were less sophisticated. Marketers of the dayU were unable to fully under- stand customers’ needs and wants, much less make fine distinctions among smaller segments of the total market. Marketers tended to offerA products that came in only one variety, flavor, or style. Today, market segmentation is critical to the success of most firms. Segmentation allows marketers to more precisely define and understand customer needs, and gives them the ability to tailor1 products to better suit those needs. As discussed in Beyond the Pages 5.1, the level1 of detailed information avail- able about customers today has changed the way firms do business. However, the use of such information raises concerns about consumer0 privacy. Still, without seg- mentation we would not enjoy the incredible variety5 of products available today. Consider the number of choices we have in categories such as soft drinks, cereals, packaged goods, automobiles, and clothing. In manyT respects, segmentation has improved our standard of living. Customers now expectS firms to delve into their needs and wants, and to tailor products accordingly. This fact makes market seg- mentation a vital part of marketing strategy. Until a firm has chosen and analyzed a target market, it cannot make effective decisions regarding other elements of the marketing strategy. In this chapter, we examine issues associated with buyer behavior in both con- sumer and business markets. We also discuss traditional and individualized approaches to market segmentation, the criteria for successful market segmentation, and specific target marketing strategies.

Choosing the right target market from among many possible alternatives is one of the key tests in developing a good marketing strategy. BUYER BEHAVIOR IN CONSUMER MARKETS Trying to understand the buyer behavior of consumers is a very trying and challeng- ing task. The behavior of consumers is often irrational and unpredictable. Consu- mers often say one thing but do another. Still, the effort spent trying to understand consumers is valuable because it can provide needed insight on how to design pro- ducts and marketing programs that better meet consumer needs and wants. One of the most recent trends in learning about customers is the rising use of ethnography, a qualitative research technique designed to understand cultural phenomena such as communication, shared meanings, and personal interests.H Computer maker Lenovo, for example, has used ethnographic research to learn more about how families in India use consumer electronics. One interesting findingI is that the family social cen- ter in Indian homes is the parents’ bedroom. The kitchenG serves the same social func- tion in American homes. Lenovo uses this type of information to develop consumer electronics that better fit differing family lifestyles inG India and the United States. With the continuing growth of the Internet, marketersS have been scouring social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to gain cultural insights about con- sumers. One of the most useful of these sites is Pinterest,, where people can “pin” anything that interests them. Pinterest’s phenomenal growth (up 111 percent in 2014) and its open nature make it a treasure trove of information about American culture. Marketers see Pinterest as a great way toS showcase brands, especially among women (42 percent of all women online use Pinterest).H The number of male users has also been growing—up 73 percent in 2014.2 In this section, we look at key issues with respect toA buyer behavior in consumer markets.
