(no segmentation)
Segment MarketingDifferent products to one or more segments
(some segmentation)
MicromarketingProducts to suit the tastes of individuals or locations

Market Segmentation - Principles
• Segmentation Variables– Geographic– Demographic– Psychographic– Behavioral – Other (anything!)
• No single best way to segment a market.• Often best to combine variables and identify smaller, better-
defined target groups.
![Page 12: STP](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a5d4851a28ab6c2a8b6b91/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Geographic Segmentation
• Divide markets into different geographic units.
• Examples:– World Region or Country: North America, Western
Europe, European Union, Pacific Rim, Mexico, etc.– Country Region: Pacific, Mountain, East Coast, etc. – City or Metro Size: New York, San Francisco– Population Density: rural, suburban, urban– Climate: northern, southern, tropical, semi-tropical

Demographic Segmentation
• Use Differences in:– age, gender, family size, family life cycle, income,
occupation, education, race, and religion
– Most frequently used segmentation variable• Ease of measurement and high availability.

![Page 14: STP](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070509/58a5d4851a28ab6c2a8b6b91/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Psychographic Segmentation
Psychographic segmentation divides a
market into different groups based on social
class, lifestyle, or personality
characteristics.People in the same demographic classification often have very different lifestyles and personalities.

This allows them to be compared and contrasted in relation to each other. This is the
main strength of this tool.

Working of position map
• The marketer would draw out the map and decide upon a label for each axis.
• They could be price (variable one) and quality (variable two), or Comfort (variable one) and price (variable two).
• The individual products are then mapped out next to each other Any gaps could be regarded as possible areas for new products.
