Study Notes
Psychographic Segmentation
- Psychographic segmentation categorizes consumers based on their attitudes, values, resources, opinions, and activities.
- Marketers collect data to identify commonalities in lifestyle, attitudes, and values.
- Nokia used psychographic segmentation in the 1990s to target specific segments like trendsetters, social contact seekers, poseurs, and highfliers for mobile phone sales.
- This approach is a method for categorizing groups of consumers worldwide.
VALS Framework
- VALS, developed by SRI International in the late 1970s, segments consumers based on resources and primary motivations.
- It's a widely used psychographic segmentation tool.
- VALS categorizes consumers into innovators, thinkers, believers, achievers, strivers, experiencers, makers, and survivors.
Euroconsumer Study
- The Euroconsumer study, conducted by D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles, identified four Euroconsumer types.
- These types include successful idealists (high financial/social achievers with social consciousness, estimated to comprise 5-20% of the population), affluent materialists (successful professionals displaying wealth), comfortable belongers (a conservative segment, estimated to comprise 25-50% of a country's population), and frustrated moderns (lack of financial resources and a lower social consciousness).
