The benefit to the marketer in doing this is that each segment has less variability than the market as a whole • The most common bases of segmentation are: – – – – – Demographic Socio-economic Buying patterns Personality, attitudes, values Life style Special considerations about the Czech people Are people in the Czech Republic the same as people in our home country?
