market segmentation and targeting: why do
it?
• many markets are demand-driven• consumers and customers are more
demanding• few mass markets remain– markets are fragmenting
![Page 7: chapter 4 MARKET SEGMENTATION, TARGETING AND POSITIONING](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/5681520b550346895dc04e15/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
what is market segmentation?
‘the process of dividing a total market into subgroups (segments) such that each segment consists of buyers and users who share similar characteristics but are different from those in the other segments’ (Masterson and Pickton, 2014)
![Page 8: chapter 4 MARKET SEGMENTATION, TARGETING AND POSITIONING](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/5681520b550346895dc04e15/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
criteria for determining good market segments
• measurable• homogeneous• heterogeneous• substantial• accessible• operational

consumer segmentation bases
• demographic– socio-economic or social grading
• geographic• geo-demographic• psychographic• mediagraphic• behavioural

life-stage segments (BRMB-TGI)
• fledglings• flown the nest• nest builders• mid-life dependents• unconstrained couples• playschool parents• primary school parents
• secondary school parents• hotel parents• senior sole decision
makers• empty nesters• non-standard families• unclassified

examples of behavioural
segmentation bases• purchase occasion• benefits sought• usage rate• user status• readiness stage• attitude to product• involvement• adopter type• loyalty status

using multiple segmentation variablesAQ – re-set figure type
![Page 13: chapter 4 MARKET SEGMENTATION, TARGETING AND POSITIONING](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/5681520b550346895dc04e15/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
organisational segmentation bases
• macro-segmentation– geographic– type of organisation– industry grouping/business sector– customer size
![Page 14: chapter 4 MARKET SEGMENTATION, TARGETING AND POSITIONING](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/5681520b550346895dc04e15/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
organisational segmentation bases
• micro-segmentation– user status– trade category– benefits sought– loyalty status– readiness stage– adopter type– purchasing practices– buy class

nested approach to B2B market segmentation
AQ – re-set figure type

target marketing (targeting)
‘the selection of one or more market segments towards which marketing efforts can be directed’ (Masterson and Pickton, 2014, glossary)
![Page 17: chapter 4 MARKET SEGMENTATION, TARGETING AND POSITIONING](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/5681520b550346895dc04e15/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
targeting strategiesAQ – re-set figure type

evaluating a segment for targeting
• sufficient current and potential sales/profits?• potential for sufficient future growth?• not over-competitive?• no excessive barriers to entry or exit?• unsatisfied needs that the company can serve
well?

positioning
‘the place a brand is perceived to occupy in the minds of the target market relative to other competing brands’ (Masterson and Pickton, 2010: 148)

multi-attribute mappingAQ – re-set figure type

perceptual mappingAQ – re-set figure type
![Page 22: chapter 4 MARKET SEGMENTATION, TARGETING AND POSITIONING](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061600/5681520b550346895dc04e15/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
positioning strategies
• attributes/product features• price/quality• usage occasions• benefits or needs• user• competitive– against another brand– a different product class

five-stage processidentify the total market
identify market segments
select target market segment(s)
establish competitors’ positions
establish own position

summary
• markets are people, not products• products should be targeted at specific
market groups (segments)– use multi-variable segmentation– opportunities for differentiation
• develop clear positioning
