Demographic Segmentation: This is referred to as the widest and simplest among the
market segmentations. It is the most preferred by many companies because it helps
in serving the right population with their products (Microsoft, 2010). Demographic
segmentation defined through several variables such as family size, age, income,
gender, nationality, race, occupation, and religion.

Based on age, Dove products are targetted to the teens, scholars, young adults,
middle and old aged consumers. Based on gender, the dove has products used by both
women and men. Lastly, according to the level of income, Dove products are
targetted to middle and high-income consumers. These group of consumers is
targetted simply because they are aware of the brand and can easily afford them
(Dove, 2016).

Psychographic Segmentation: This segmentation is based on consumers� activities,


interests, opinion, and lifestyle. The difference between psychographic and
behavioral segmentation is that the former takes consumer buying behavior into
consideration while the former do not (MediaKnowAll, 2009).

Dove products mainly focus on the consumers� attitude and self-esteem. The company
provides products offered to average looking women to make them look beautiful and
more attractive. This aspect of the product is focussed on the potential customers�
attitude. For example, the dove came up with smile wall campaigns which were
focussed on making people acknowledge their beauty. Campaigns were also conducted
to encourage the customers� self-esteem through using Dove products (Dove, 2016).

three times in a week (on average) among all the consumers. However, the frequency
