Identify key buyer characteristics 3. Form loose “clusters” of buyer types 4. Identify truly differentiating dimensions Overview of the Segmentation process 5. Name/label the different segments 6. Find out WHY they behave the way they do 7. Make a rough estimate of the size, potential and cost of each segment 8. Select your target(s) Ways to Segment Consumer Markets – We use one or more Bases of Segmentation • Demographic characteristics: variables which describe a population’s characteristics e.g. age, income, gender etc – Examples: *See Fig 9-3 on p.232 Geography • Geographic characteristics: variables that describe geographic location or related variables such as climate e.g. mountain zone, North Island, North Shore. – Examples: Psychographics • Psychographic characteristics: a combination of demographic & psychological variables that describe lifestyle – Examples: Benefits Sought* • Benefits Sought Characteristics: the most important benefit(s) as perceived by the consumer – Benefits: advantages sought by buyer – Attributes: features of the product that provide the benefits * Your text calls this “segmentation by product features” (p.232) Usage Rate • Usage rate*: the degree of usage (i.e. low, medium or high) during a specific time period • The 80-20 rule: approx 80% of demand comes from 20% of the market *also known as segmentation by volume Usage Rate • Usage rate*: the degree of usage (i.e. low, medium or high) during a specific time period: • The 80-20 rule: approx 80% of demand comes from 20% of the market (heavy users) • Example: – Frequent fliers – Loyalty programmes Target Market Selection Criteria (p.238-9) • Market size • Expected growth • Competition • Cost of Reaching • Compatibility - Strategic ‘Fit’ with the firm & objectives Targeting – One or More? • Undifferentiated or Mass Marketing – Marketing to all consumers the same way, so not really targeting at all: • Targeting – Selecting one or more segments to focus marketing efforts on: Targeting – One or more? • Concentrated or Niche Marketing – Focusing on one segment only: • Differentiated Marketing – Focusing on more than one segment – 2-tier marketing strategies p.229 • Targeting – One or more? • Mass Customisation – Tailoring products to individual needs Positioning is… • Defined as creating the ‘place’ an offer occupies in the buyer’s mind, relative to competing offers, in a given market • based on your source(s) of differentiation in the market • the way an offer is defined by buyers in terms of important attributes: – physical – perceptual How do we measure/describe ‘position’? Perceptual Map Why is Position so Important? • Your “position” (as viewed by the customer), is central to their perceptions and choice decisions • All elements of the marketing programme can affect the position – Therefore, a clear positioning strategy is needed to focus the development of the marketing programme Steps in Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning 6.
