Don’t only innovate for yourself
• 51,9 procent van de vrouwen met de Belgische nationaliteit haalde een
diploma hoger onderwijs, tegenover 39,6 van de meisjes die bij hun
geboorte geen Belg waren. Voor mannen is dat 34,7 procent bij de
Belgen tegenover 16,5 procent.
• In de huishoudens waarin een van de ouders hogere studies heeft
gedaan, is het aandeel van jongens en meisjes met een diploma van
het hoger onderwijs respectievelijk twee en drie keer zo groot als dat
in huishoudens waarin geen van beide ouders verder heeft
gestudeerd.
• Jongeren die in huishoudens met een gehuwd koppel leefden,
behaalden vaker een diploma van het hoger onderwijs dan de
anderen: 1,5 keer meer voor meisjes en 2 keer meer voor jongens

Segmentation and positioning

Mass Marketing = Undifferentiated marketing

• Focuses on what consumers have in common rather than what's different. For
example, the original Coca-Cola was marketed to everyone.
• Focus on mass producing, mass distribution and mass promoting about the
same product in about the same way to all consumers, targeting the largest
potential market with the objective of lowest cost/highest margin

21 jef.peeters@kuleuven.be
Segmenting markets = Differentiated marketing

• Prepares many separate offerings for many different


markets. Coca-Cola today offers dozens of different kinds
of coke.

Mass marketing?

So white, it can’t be whiter!

Nothing as safe as Dreft!

1000 ways to love your cloths,


only 1 way to wash it.

It’s just a matter of common sense!

Targeted marketing

Target marketing:
Directing a company’s effort towards serving one or more groups of
customers sharing common needs or characteristics, because some
markets can be reached more efficiently with products and services that
match the unique needs of a specific target group.

Segmentation criteria for B2B

B2B

52

52 jef.peeters@kuleuven.be
Segmentation based on multiple variables

Simple segmentation based on multiple variables


Segments are developed by combining a number of variables
(within the same criterion)
Example: gender and age (both are demographic variables)

Advanced segmentation based on multiple variables


Segments are developed by combining a number of variables
(not within the same criterion)
Example: geodemographical (geographical and demographical variables)

Segmentation on multiple steps


For example to find niches

53

53 jef.peeters@kuleuven.be
Market segments development
• Qualitative research
o Focus-group interviews to determine
motivations and attitudes
• Quantitative research
o Structured questionnaired to gain
information and allow analysis (>100)
• Analysis
o Factor analysis (to filter-out correlated
variables)
o Cluster analysis (to find segments)
• Validition
o Statistical validation & experiment with
the sements
• Profiling of each cluster
o Distinguishing attituted and behaviours
54

54 jef.peeters@kuleuven.be
Quantitative research - CRM
(= Customer Relationship Management)
• To compare customers and analyze differences and
similarities it is useful to categorize customers using:
o Division of Corporation Finance: Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC) Code List
o Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the
European Community, commonly referred to as NACE

55 jef.peeters@kuleuven.be
Quantitative research - GfK

56 jef.peeters@kuleuven.be
Effective segmentation

- Effective: The needs of the customers are relatively


homogeneous within a segment

- Measurable : Size, buying power and profiles of the need


measuring

- Accessible : Market segments need to be reached and


served

- Profitable : Large and profitable enough to server

- Actionable : Feasibility of designing programs to attract


and serve the market segment
57 jef.peeters@kuleuven.be
Evaluating market segments
• Segment attractiveness
o Size (not too large)? Growth? Profitability?
Competitors? suppliers?

• Business strengths
o Core business? Long term objectives? Environment?
Social situation?

• Selecting market segments


o Suppose segment is OK → management decision
(resources, skills, ...)

58 jef.peeters@kuleuven.be
(Re-) Positioning
• “The act of designing the company’s offering so that it
occupies a meaningful and distinct position in the target
customer’s mind”

• “linking your product or service to the solutions that


consumers seek and assuring that, when they think of
these needs, your brand is one of the first that comes to
mind”
