MARKET SEGMENTATION
Market segmentation is the process of dividing a larger market into smaller, distinct groups or
segments based on similar characteristics, preferences, and behaviors of consumers. By
segmenting the market, businesses can tailor their marketing strategies and offerings to effectively
target specific customer segments, which can lead to improved customer satisfaction, higher sales,
and increased profitability.
➢ Better understanding of customer needs: By segmenting the market, businesses can gain
a deeper understanding of their customers' needs, preferences, and buying behaviours. This
understanding allows companies to develop products and services that align with specific
customer requirements.
➢ Effective targeting: Segmentation helps businesses identify the most attractive customer
segments for their offerings. By focusing on specific segments, companies can allocate
their resources more efficiently and effectively, leading to higher returns on investment.
Market segmentation can be done based on various variables. Here are some common
segmentation variables:
➢ Demographic: Dividing the market based on demographic factors such as age, gender,
income, education, occupation, and family size. For example, a company might target
young adults aged 18-24 for a new fashion line.
