  13. Market Segmentation Market Segmentation is a group of individuals within a large market that share one or more characteristics. Example: • # of College Basketball fans in the United States. • # of UK Wildcat College Basketball Fans. UK apparel and memorabilia will fly off the shelves in Lexington but not be sold in Gainesville or Durham. Markets will change the covers of national publications to fit the region (fan base) which they are sold.

  14. Five Elements of Market Segmentation Market Segmentation is very much like Target Marketing – you must focus on your customer’s (fans) needs and wants. • Geographic Segmentation – dividing markets into physical location • Eastern, Southern, Western Regions. • Urban or Rural Areas. • Parts of cities or towns. • Demographic Segmentation – focus is on measurable information. • Age, Gender, Marital Status, Income Level, Education Level • Psychographics – focus is on characteristics that can’t be measured (values, attitudes, behavior). • Attending a game on a holy day.

  15. Five Elements of Market Segmentation • Product Usage – reflects what products you use, how often and why. • Marketers try to use information to encourage you to use your preferred products more often or to try new, similar or competing products. • Benefits Derived – value consumers (people) believe they receive form the product or service. • Enjoyment from watching a good game. • Sweatshirt with team logo vs wearing a identical sweatshirt with no team logo.
