    Study Notes

    Generic Markets vs. Product Markets

    • A generic market comprises customer needs, customer types, and geographic area, excluding product type.
    • A product-market encompasses a specific product type, user needs, customer types, and geographic area, offering close substitutes to satisfy customer needs.
    • Customers in generic markets may have broadly similar needs but can fulfill them in various ways, leading to competition among different product types.

    Market Segmentation

    • Segmenting groups individuals with similar needs into a market segment, which represents a homogeneous customer group responding similarly to marketing mixes.
    • The initial step in market segmentation is identifying broad product-markets, which is followed by the segmentation process.
    • Effective segments should be operational, meaning they can be applied to identify customers and adjust marketing strategies accordingly.

    Broad Product-Market Examples

    • An example of a broad product-market in outdoor adventures is individuals purchasing fly fishing equipment, which represents a submarket within the larger generic market of outdoor activities.
    • Narrower markets can be identified, such as loyal customers of a specific fly fishing brand, which represent specific homogeneous target markets.

    Target Market Strategies

    • The multiple target market approach involves selecting two or more segments from a broad product-market and formulating distinct marketing mixes for each.
    • Marketers may adopt a combiner strategy, utilizing a single marketing mix across multiple submarkets.
