2 basic approaches:
Mass marketing Segmented marketing
The basic choice of a company is to pursue either a mass marketing strategy or a segmented strategy.
Mass marketing is also known as aggregated marketing and undifferentiated marketing.
![Page 4: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Segmented marketing
The basic requirements of the segmented marketing are:
At least one homogeneous segment is found
A marketing mix is devised specifically for the segment(s)
![Page 5: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

A procedure for segmenting
markets1. Broadly specify area of interest
2. Generate a list of segmentation variables
3. Qualitative analysis
4. Quantitative analysis
5. Apply size, accessibility and marketing mix control criteria

Bases for segmentation
1 Geographic National/regional differences in taste and product usage
2 DemographicsAgeLifecycleEducationSexFamily composition
Can differences be distinguished between groups in each of those categories that reflect differences in propensity to purchase, or in product usage?
3 Socio-economic and income
Are consumption or media exposure related to social grad or income level?
![Page 9: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Bases for segmentation
4 Geodemographics
Does where we live condition how we live, and consequently relate to what we buy?
5 Benefits sought Are there differences in the benefits sought by different people in the same product?
6 Usage rate and brand loyalty
Are these who consume a lot of a product different from those who consume a little?
7 Psychographics Is consumption better considered in the context of ‘lifestyle’ groups?
![Page 10: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
20/04/23 10
Bases for segmentation
8 Situation Does the situation in which consumption or purchase takes place vary? If so can individuals be grouped according to their situations?
9 Responsiveness
Do people respond differently to aspects of marketing activity? Do they use different distribution channels?

ACORN a Geodemographic
segmentation
ACORN stands for ‘A classification of residential neighborhoods’. It segments the consumers according to the type of area in which they live into 12 major groups, further refined into 39 types.

Benefits sought segmentation (a Behavioural segmentation)
It is axiomatic in marketing that customers buy benefits, not features. Some toothpaste users want white teeth, others fresh breath and others protection from dental decay.
![Page 17: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Benefit segmentation
for cars
Pleasure seekers: driving is all about pleasure (freedom, enjoyment, well being)
Image seekers: driving is all about self-image. The car provides feelings of power, prestige, status and self-enhancement. Driving is secondary.
Functionality seekers: driving is only a means of getting from point A to B. Convenience matters.
![Page 19: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Benefit segmentsIn the less expensive camera market:
Do-it-yourselfer (25%) Great pride in good pictures Gratification from making settings and
adjustments Pride in a complex camera Regards a good picture the results of
expertise

20/04/23 20
Behavioral segmentation
The most obvious approach when we use behaviouristic characteristics is to study usage rates and brand loyalty:
Heavy users (say every day) Medium users (maybe once a week)
Light users (say once a month) Occasional users Non-users (never used brand)
![Page 21: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Psychographic segments
Psychographics classify consumers according to their personal traits such as sociability, self-reliance, assertiveness, lifestyles, which cover attitudes, interests and opinions.
![Page 24: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Lifestyle segmentation (a Psychographic segmentation)
It tells the marketer about the sort of lifestyle his customer leads, the beliefs and the opinions he holds, the type of interest he has and the background he is from.
![Page 25: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Lifestyle segmentation (a Psychographic segmentation)
It is expensive to conduct – a large number of personal interviews with up to 600 questions being asked.
![Page 26: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Market positioningA products’ position is the place the product occupies in consumers’ minds relative to competitors.Market positioning is arranging for a product to occupy a clear, distinctive, and desirable place relative to competing products in the minds of target consumers.
![Page 48: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
20/04/23 48
Key tasks in positioning
Positioning is the choice of : Target market : where we
want to compete Differential advantage :
how we wish to compete
![Page 49: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
20/04/23 49
Some basis for positioning
Corporate positioning
Product positioning
The organization could strive to attain and to maintain leadership in terms of one or more of:
The product’s positioning might emphasize:
market share cost/economy/value quality product features service product range technology product quality innovation services/customer care variety customer types integrity customer problem
solved community service use/application type
disassociation
![Page 50: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

20/04/23 51
Clarity
The positioning idea must be clear in terms of both target market and differential advantage:
BMW : The Ultimate Driving Machine Mars : Good Food Costs Less at Sainsbury
![Page 52: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
20/04/23 52
Consistency
Too many messages bombard the customers. Consistent message is required.
If it is quality this year, it must be quality next year too.
![Page 53: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
20/04/23 53
CredibilityThe differential advantage which is chosen must be credible in the minds of the target customers
Example: The ad of Lada as an exiting, sporty car by showing it slaloming through dirt tracks in Africa failed – a lack of consonance between image and reality.
![Page 54: Segmentation Targeting Positioning](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56813191550346895d980467/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
20/04/23 54
CompetitivenessThe differential advantage should have a competitive edge. It should offer something of value to the customer which the competition is failing to provide.
Example: Apple iPhone, iPad
