– Demographics – Geographics – Geodemographics – Psychographics – Behavioural – Beneficial Consumer Segmentation

Based on:

– Demographics: consists of dividing the market into groups based on variables such as age, gender, family size, income, occupation, education, religion, race and nationality etc. Consumer Segmentation Based on: – Geographics : Certain countries, regions, etc. are assumed to have common characteristics which influence buying attitudes. In international marketing -----= characteristics as population, income per head, trade carried out by the country, as well as tastes, and the nature of competition in the market (postcodes, city-town- village, region, density, climate etc.) Consumer Segmentation

Based on:

– Geodemographics : The segmentation of consumers where (and how) they live-using demografic data to clasify neighbourhoods Consumer Segmentation

Based on: Psychographics : Psychographic segmentation is concerned with identifying personality traits and distinguishing characteristics in groups of the population. Examples are young and outgoing (for the sale of new forms of music) or grey and conservative (for classical Highly adventurist, and 60s music). (personality, enterpreneurial and values, lifestyle, attitudes, free-spirited motivations, interest, achievers opinions, etc.) Consumer Segmentation

Based on: – Behavioural: looks at patterns - frequent/infrequent purchase, loyalty to a product etc. (benefits sought, purchase occasion, usage, buyer readiness stage, perceptions and beliefs). Consumer Segmentation

Based on: – Benefit segmentation divides markets on the basis of the specific benefits or outcomes consumers want from a product or service. Segmentation Example

These are shown as “Home makers” within the census. • The product may possibly appeal to drivers between the ages of 30-50+ with no children • Certain occupations may be more likely to use the cream. For example gardeners, water users and other dry conditioned occupations etc. Market Targeting

An analysis of a market might identify a range of segments that could offer potential to the organisations. Determining How Many Segments to Enter

• Undifferentiated (Mass Marketing) All consumers have similar needs for a specific kind of product. Homogeneous market, or demand is so diffused it is not worthwhile to differentiate, try to make demand more homogeneous. Single MM consists of: – 1 Pricing strategy – 1 Promotional program aimed at everybody – 1 Type of product with little/no variation – 1 Distribution system aimed at entire market Determining How Many Segments to Enter

Differentiated marketing • Involves marketing in a number of segments, developing separate marketing strategies for each. A Product for Every Segment Determining How Many Segments to Enter

• Concentrated (Target Marketing) Marketing: Large share of one or a few sub-markets. Good when company’s resources are limited Positioning

Simply, positioning is how your defines you in relation to your competitors. A good position is: 1. What makes you unique 2. This is considered a benefit by your target market

It’s the way we want consumers to think (rational side) and feel (emotional side) about the brand Developing a Positioning Strategy
