IDENTIFYING MARKET SEGMENT
AND TARGET CHAP-8
LEVEL OF MARKET SEGMENTATION
Market segmentation represents an effort to increase a
company's targeting precision. It can be carried out at
four levels: segments, niches, local areas, and
individuals.

Mass Marketing
In mass marketing, the seller engages in the mass production,
mass distribution, and mass promotion of one product for all
buyers. Henry Ford epitomized this marketing strategy when he
offered the Model-T Ford to all buyers; they could have the car
"in any color as long as it is black." Coca-Cola also practiced
mass marketing for many years when it sold only one size Coke
in a 6.5-ounce bottle.
Mass Marketing

Same product to all consumers
(no segmentation)
IDENTIFYING MARKET SEGMENT
AND TARGET CHAP-8
The traditional argument for mass marketing is that it
creates the largest potential market, which leads to the
lowest costs, which in turn can translate into either
lower prices or higher margins. However, many critics
point to the increasing splintering of the market, which
makes mass marketing more difficult. According to Regis
McKenna:
Blekinge Institute of Technology
SE-371 79 Karlskrona
+46 455 38 50 00
www.bth.se/eng
The proliferation of advertising media and distribution
channels is making it difficult to practice "one size fits
all" marketing. No wonder some have claimed that mass
marketing is dying. Not surprisingly, many companies
are retreating from mass marketing and turning to
micromarketing at one of four levels.

SEGMENT MARKETING
Blekinge Institute of Technology
SE-371 79 Karlskrona
+46 455 38 50 00
www.bth.se/eng
A market segment consists of a large identifiable group
within a market. A company that practices segment
marketing recognizes that buyers differ in their wants,
purchasing power, geographical locations, buying
attitudes, and buying habits. At the same time, though,
the company is not willing to customize its
offer/communication bundle to each individual customer.
The company instead tries to isolate some broad
segments that make up a market. For example, an auto
company may identify four broad segments: car buyers
seeking basic transportation, those seeking high
performance, those seeking luxury, and those seeking
safety.
Segment Marketing
Different products to one or more segments
(some segmentation)
IDENTIFYING MARKET SEGMENT
AND TARGET CHAP-8
Thus segmentation is a midpoint between mass marketing
and individual marketing. The consumers belonging to a
segment are assumed to be quite similar in their wants
and needs. Yet they are not identical. Some segment
members will want additional features and benefits not
included in the offer, while others would gladly give up
something that they don't want very much. For example,
Ritz-Carlton Hotels target affluent guests and provide
many amenities and a lower price. Thus segment
marketing is not as precise as individual marketing but is
much more precise than mass marketing.
Blekinge Institute of Technology

www.bth.se/eng
Segment marketing offers several benefits over mass
marketing. The company can create a more fine-tuned
product/service offer and price it appropriately for the
target audience. The choice of distribution channels and
communications channels becomes much easier. And the
company may face fewer competitors if fewer
competitors are focusing on this market segment.
IDENTIFYING MARKET SEGMENT

NICHE MARKETING.
Market segments are normally large identifiable groups
within a market? for example, nonsmokers, occasional
smokers, regular smokers, and heavy smokers. A niche
is a more narrowly defined group, typically a small
market whose needs are not being well served.
Marketers usually identify niches by dividing a segment
into sub segments or by defining a group with a
distinctive set of traits who may seek a special
combination of benefits. For example, the sema, and
heavy smokers with emphysema who are overweight.

Niche Marketing
Different products to subgroups within segments
( more segmentation)
IDENTIFYING MARKET SEGMENT
AND TARGET CHAP-8
While segments are fairly large and thus normally attract
several competitors, niches are fairly small and normally
attract only one or a few competitors. Niches typically
attract smaller companies. Larger companies, such as
IBM, whose lose pieces of their market to nichers; Dalgic
labeled this confrontation as "guerrillas against gorillas.“
As a defense, some larger companies have turned to niche
marketing, which has required more decentralization and
some changes in the way they do business. For
example, Johnson & Johnson consists of 170 affiliates
(business units), most of which pursue niche markets.

Niche marketers presumably understand their niches'' needs
so well that their customers willingly pay a price
premium. For example, Ferrari gets a high price for its
cars because its loyal buyers feel that no other
automobile comes close to offering the product-servicemembership benefit bundle that Ferrari does.

attractive niche is characterized as follows: The
customers in the niche have a distinct and complete set
of needs; they will pay a premium to the firm best
satisfying their needs; the "nicher" has the required
skills to serve the niche in a superior fashion; the nicher
gains certain economies through specialization; the
niche is not likely to attract other competitor or the
nicher can depend on itself; and the niche has sufficient
size, profit, and growth potential.

LOCAL MARKETING.
Target marketing is increasingly taking on the character of
regional and local marketing, with marketing programs
being tailored to the needs and wants of local customer
groups (trading areas, neighborhoods, even individual
stores). Thus Citibank provides different mixes of
banking services in its branches depending on the bank's
neighborhood
demographics.
And
Kraft
helps
supermarket chains identify the cheese assortment and
shelf positioning that will optimize cheese sales in lowincome, middle-income, and high-income stores, and in
different ethnic communities.

Local / Individual Marketing
Products to suit the tastes of individuals or locations
(complete segmentation)
IDENTIFYING MARKET SEGMENT
AND TARGET CHAP-8
Those in favor of localizing a company's marketing point to
the pronounced regional differences in communities''
demographics and lifestyles. They see national
advertising as wasteful because it fails to address local
target groups. They also see powerful local and regional
retailers who are demanding more fine-tuned product
assortments for their neighborhoods.
Blekinge Institute of Technology
SE-371 79 Karlskrona
+46 455 38 50 00
www.bth.se/eng
Those against local marketing argue that it drives up
manufacturing and marketing costs by reducing
economies of scale. Logistical problems become
magnified when companies try to meet different regional
and local markets'' requirements. And a brand's overall
image might be diluted if the product and message differ
in different localities.
IDENTIFYING MARKET SEGMENT

INDIVIDUAL MARKETING.
Blekinge Institute of Technology
SE-371 79 Karlskrona
+46 455 38 50 00
www.bth.se/eng
The ultimate level of segmentation leads to "segments of
one,"
"customized
marketing,"
or
"one-to-one
marketing." The prevalence of mass marketing has
obscured the fact that for centuries consumers were
served as individuals: The clothier tailor-made the suit,
the cobbler designed shoes for the individual, and so on.
And much business-to-business marketing today is
customized, in that a manufacturer will customize the
offer, logistics, and financial terms for each major
account. It is the new technologies? Specifically
computers, databases, robotic production, and instant
communication media such as e-mail and fax? That are
permitting companies to consider a return to customized
marketing, or what is called "mass customization." Mass
customization is the ability to prepare on a mass basis
individually designed products and communications to
meet each customer's requirements.

1. Demographic Segmentation
These bases are also observable general bases. Dividing the
total market into segments on the basis of such
demographic variables as age, gender, income,
occupation, education, race, nationality and social class
is called demographic segmentation. This is the most
popular method by which marketers identify market
segments. Demographic segmentation is widely used for
two reasons.

1. First, consumer ’s wants and needs are often closely
associated with their demographic characteristics.
2. Second, demographic variables are easy to measure and
are readily available to marketers. For example, the ford
Motor Company redesigned the Mustang in 1994 to
appeal more to women, who represent a $65 billion
annual market.

managers divide the whole market into segments based
on location, they are using geographic segmentation.
Many types of location can be used – regions, countries,
states,
counties,
cities
or
towns,
and
even
neighborhoods- depending on the goods or services
being marketed.

4. Psychographics
These bases are observable product-specific bases. The
segmentation variables base on consumer’s personality,
characteristic and life-style. Psychographics classify
consumers by their attitudes, feelings and personality.
Psychographics analysis recognizes that individuals who
have similar interest, enjoy similar activities, and have
similar outlook on life should be grouped together for
marketing purposes.

Used in conjunction with demographics, however, this
approach can be a powerful tool in painting a realistic
profile of designated market segments. In a retail study,
psychographics is one of three major segmenting bases
used to generate unique customer profiles distinguishing
department store shoppers from those who prefer
discount stores.

decision, buyer, and user. This is especially useful in
designing the communication strategy.
