Segmentation Dilemma
Mass Marketing --
(Economies of Scale)
(However, everyone is
different)
CUSTOMIZATION
![Page 13: Segment targeting & positioning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051112/55a5d15f1a28abd4298b48d0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Choosing a Targeting Strategy
Undifferentiated Marketing
Differentiated Marketing
Concentrated Marketing
Customized Marketing
![Page 14: Segment targeting & positioning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051112/55a5d15f1a28abd4298b48d0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Undifferentiated Marketing
Appeals to a broad spectrum of
people
Efficient due to economies of scale
Effective when most consumers
have similar needs
Example: Big Bazaar
![Page 15: Segment targeting & positioning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051112/55a5d15f1a28abd4298b48d0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Differentiated Marketing
Develops one or more products for each of several customer groups with different product needs
Appropriate when consumers are choosing among well-known brands with distinctive images and it is possible to identify one or more segments with distinct needs for different types of products
Example:Lakme, Ponds, Fair & Lovely
![Page 16: Segment targeting & positioning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051112/55a5d15f1a28abd4298b48d0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Concentrated Marketing
Entails focusing efforts on offering
one or more products to a single
segment
Useful for smaller firms that do not
have the resources to serve all
markets
Example:HMT Watches
![Page 17: Segment targeting & positioning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051112/55a5d15f1a28abd4298b48d0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Customized Marketing
Segments are so precisely defined that
products are offered to exactly meet the
needs of each individual– Example:
Mass customization is a related
approach in which a company modifies a
basic good to meet the needs of an
individual– Example: Dell Computers
![Page 18: Segment targeting & positioning](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051112/55a5d15f1a28abd4298b48d0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Segmentation
Why segment?
– Identifies opportunities and needs.
– Allows firm to focus on specific needs.
– Improves marketing mix for each segment.
– Allows small firm to exist.

The Importance of
Market Segmentation
Markets have a variety of product
needs and preferences
Marketers can better define
customer needs
Decision makers can define objectives
and allocate resources more accurately

Psychographic segments market in terms of shared attitudes, interests, and opinions
Segments include demographic information such as age and income, but also includes richer descriptions
Some organizations develop their own psychographic segments for their consumers, but others utilize national systems (VALS by SRI International)
