Differentiated Marketing
- Organizations using this approach utilize various marketing programs, geared towards distinct market segments, to appeal to each group's specific needs and preferences.
Concentrated Marketing
- This strategy focuses on a single market segment, employing a single or limited number of marketing programs. It aims to achieve operational efficiency and economies of scale.
- It can potentially limit growth opportunities if the chosen segment's size diminishes.
Opportunity Identification
- Opportunities can arise from:
- Discovering new consumer groups.
- Uncovering unsatisfied customer needs.
- Innovative ways to address customer needs effectively.
Opportunity-Organization Matching
- Identified market opportunities must align with the organization's business definition, mission, and core competencies.
- This evaluation requires:
- Assessing the organization's strengths and weaknesses.
- Identifying the success criteria for profitable operations.
Market Share
- Represents the sales dollars or units of a company's offering divided by the total market sales, expressed as a percentage.
Benefits of Market Segmentation

Estimating Market Sales Potential

Variables used to estimate MSP:
- B (Buyers): Number of potential buyers who are willing and able to purchase the offering.
