CHAPTER 4: OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS, MARKET SEGMENTATION, AND MARKET TARGETING OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS
OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS Opportunity analysis consists of three interrelated activities: OpportunityIdentification Opportunity-OrganizationMatching OpportunityEvaluation
OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS Opportunity Identification • Opportunities arise from: • Identifying new types of buyers • Uncovering unsatisfied needs of buyers • Creating new ways or means for satisfying buyer needs • Opportunity analysis focuses on finding markets that an organization can profitably serve
OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS Opportunity-Organization Matching Determines whether an identified market opportunity is consistent with the definition ofthe firm’s business, mission statement, and distinctive competencies • Assesses strengths and weaknesses via a SWOT • Identifies the success requirements • Rejects those that do not conform to a firm’s character even if they offer sizable sales and profit
Qualitative Quantitative • Market sales potential estimates • Sales forecasts • Competitive activity • Environmental forces • Budgets • Buyer requirements • Market demand • Organizational capabilities • Supplier sources OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS Opportunity Evaluation Matches the attractiveness of an opportunity with the potential for uncovering a market niche, which depends on: Consists of:

CHAPTER 4: OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS, MARKET SEGMENTATION, AND MARKET TARGETING WHAT IS A MARKET?
WHAT IS A MARKET? A market consists of the prospective buyers (individuals or organizations) willing and able to purchase the existing or potential offering (product or service) of an organization.
WHAT IS A MARKET? Implications for marketers: Buyers Focus on buyers, not products or services EffectiveDemand Exchanges cannot occur unless buyers are able and willing to purchase a product or service Purchases consist of offerings, not products or services, due to the values or benefits that buyers derive from them Offerings
Identify competitors and how they compete • Monitor changes in sales volume • Assess differences between buyers’ taste preferences and the competition WHAT IS A MARKET? Market Structure View as a composite of mini- or regional markets to:

CHAPTER 4: OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS, MARKET SEGMENTATION, AND MARKET TARGETING MARKETSEGMENTATION
MARKET SEGMENTATION Market Segmentation • A technique that involves breaking down or building up of potential buyers into groups, which are calledmarket segments • Each segment possesses a homogeneous characteristicthat relates to its purchasing behavior and responseto a marketing program • “Cannot be all things to all people” • Information technology and flexible manufacturing and service delivery systems can create “segments of one”
MARKET SEGMENTATION Mass Customization • Tailors products and services to the tastes and preferences of individual buyers in high volumes and at a relatively low cost • Combines the efficiencies of mass production and the effectiveness of designing offerings to a single buyer’s unique wants
MARKET SEGMENTATION Benefits of Market Segmentation • Identifies opportunities for new product development • Helps in the design of marketing programs that are most effective for reaching homogeneous groups of consumers • Improves the allocation of marketing resources

MARKET SEGMENTATION Requirements for Effective Market Segmentation Need to answer six buyer-related questions: • Who are they? • What do they want to buy? • How do they want to buy? • When do they want to buy? • Where do they want to buy? • Why do they want to buy?

CHAPTER 4: OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS, MARKET SEGMENTATION, AND MARKET TARGETING MARKET TARGETING
MARKET TARGETING Marketers ask three questions after a market has been segmented: Where toCompete? How toCompete? When toCompete?
MARKET TARGETING Where to Compete? • Question focuses on which market segments should be chosen for marketing efforts • Market targeting (or target marketing) is the specification of the segment(s) the organization wishes to pursue
MARKET TARGETING How to Compete? • Question focuses on how many market segments the organization will pursue and the marketing strategies to employ • Two market targeting approaches are: DifferentiatedMarketing ConcentratedMarketing
MARKET TARGETING How to Compete? Differentiated Marketing • Simultaneously pursues several different market segments with a unique marketing strategy for each segment • Manages multiple products across multiple market segments, which increases marketing-related expenditures
MARKET TARGETING How to Compete? Concentrated Marketing • Focuses on a single market segment, sometimes marketing one product to one segment • More commonly, offers one or more product linesto a single market segment • Provides operating economies • Limits growth opportunities if the segment size declines

CHAPTER 4: OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS, MARKET SEGMENTATION, AND MARKET TARGETING MARKET SALES POTENTIAL AND PROFITABILITY
MARKET SALES POTENTIAL AND PROFITABILITY Market Sales Potential • Estimating a market’s sales potential foran offering is a difficult task • Markets and offerings can be defined in ways that can lead to different estimatesof market size and dollar sales potential • For new offerings or markets, marketers may rely entirely on judgment and creativity when estimating market sales potential
MARKET SALES POTENTIAL AND PROFITABILITY Market Sales Potential Is the maximum sales level that might be available to all organizations serving a defined market in a specific time period given: • The marketing-mix activities and related expenditures of all organizations and • A set of environmental conditions
Buyers (B) The number of prospective buyers (B) who are willing and able to purchase an offering Quantity (Q) The quantity (Q) of an offering purchased by an average buyer in a specific time period Price (P) The price (P) of an average unit of the offering MARKET SALES POTENTIAL AND PROFITABILITY Estimating Market Sales Potential Variables used to estimate: Market Sales Potential B P Q = × ×
Population aged 8 years and over× proportion of the population that consumers soft drinks on a daily basis × proportion of the population preferring cola-flavored soft drinks× the average number of carbonated soft drink occasions per day× the average amount consumed per consumption occasion (in ounces)× 365 days in a calendar year× the average price per ounce of cola Market SalesPotential forCola-FlavoredSoft Drinksin a Country = MARKET SALES POTENTIAL AND PROFITABILITY Estimating Market Sales Potential Chain ratio method: Multiplying a base number by several adjusting factors believed to influence market sales potential
MARKET SALES POTENTIAL AND PROFITABILITY Estimating Market Sales Potential The chain ratio method serves three purposes: • Is a quantitative estimate of market sales potential • Highlights factors that are controllable and not controllable • Is flexible in estimating market sales potential for different buyer groups and offerings
SALES AND PROFIT FORECASTING Sales Forecast • Is the level of sales a single organization expectsto achieve based on a chosen marketing strategy and an assumed competitive environment • Is some fraction of estimated market sales potential • Reflects the size of the target market(s) chosen by the organization and the marketing mix chosen for the target market(s) • Reflects the assumed number of competitors and competitive intensity in the chosen target market(s)
SALES AND PROFIT FORECASTING Sales Forecast Example: Chain Ratio Method
SALES AND PROFIT FORECASTING Sales Forecast • Prepare a pro forma income statementthat shows forecasted sales, budgeted expenses, and estimated net profit • Review the identified opportunities and decide which one can be most profitably pursued given organizational capabilities
