Market Segmentation: Key Elements and Applications
- Market segmentation involves dividing a market into smaller, identifiable segments based on geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral factors.
- The purpose of market segmentation is to tailor marketing strategies to specific segments, enabling marketers to meet their needs effectively.
- Segmentation bases such as geographic location, demographic characteristics, psychographics, and behavioral patterns are used to create substantial, measurable, and accessible segments with unique response patterns to marketing strategies.
- Multiple-variable segmentation is more precise than single-variable segmentation, but it can be more complex and may have less available data.
- Arc’teryx, an outdoor equipment manufacturer, utilized multiple-variable segmentation with Environics Analytics to identify profitable locations for new stores based on customer demographics and lifestyles.
- Geographic segmentation includes region, market size, density, and climate, while demographic segmentation covers age, gender, income, and family life cycle.
- Tweens and teenagers have substantial purchasing power and influence over family spending, while millennials and baby boomers represent significant consumer segments.
- Gender, income, and ethnic subgroups influence consumer behavior, and multicultural countries can develop unique approaches to sizable ethnic markets.
- Income segmentation can impact consumer behavior, as seen in Coca-Cola's approach to cultural diversity.
- Occupation and family life cycle segmentation influence purchasing behavior based on occupation, marital status, and presence of children.
- Psychographic segmentation considers personality, motives, lifestyles, and geodemographics to understand consumer behavior and preferences.
- Effective segmentation must meet criteria such as substantiality, identifiability, accessibility, and responsiveness, and involves steps such as selecting a market, designing appropriate marketing mixes, and selecting target segments.
