Sample Answer
Market Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning
Market Segmentation:
This involves dividing the market into distinct customer groups with similar needs, wants, and characteristics. Common segmentation bases include demographics, psychographics, behavioral factors, and geographic location. Effective segmentation allows for targeted marketing messages and product development tailored to specific customer segments.
Targeting:
After segmentation, a company chooses one or a few segments to focus their marketing efforts on. Targeting allows for efficient resource allocation and ensures messages resonate with the intended audience.
