Market Segmentation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llJNwdV-G88
Segmentation Market segmentation is the process of dividing a market up into different groups of customers, in order to create different products to meet their specific needs. How might you segment the market?
Geographic segmentation is a simple form of market segmentation. Certain countries, regions, etc. are assumed to have common characteristics, which influence buying attitudes.
Demographic segmentation involves dividing the population into discrete segments either by age (e.g. for clothes retailing), or by sex (e.g. for the sale of cosmetics), or by family size (e.g. for selling different sizes of breakfast cereals), or by income group (e.g. in selling own-brand and manufacturers' brands in a supermarket), or by occupation (e.g. in selling life insurance to teachers or stunt drivers).
Psychographic segmentation is concerned with identifying personality traits and distinguishing characteristics in groups of the population. Examples are young and outgoing (for the sale of new forms of music) or grey and conservative (for classical and 60s music).
Behaviouristic segmentation looks at consumer behaviour patterns - frequent/infrequent purchase, loyalty to a product etc. For example, one segment of the market may always purchase your product while another is made up of people who switch frequently between brands. An experienced drinker may stick with Guinness, while an inexperienced on may try out a range of beers and stouts.
Age • Sex • Socio-economic – by social class and income
