  1. Segmentation & Consumer Profiling Target Marketing

  2. As marketers and business people, we will sell our products to whomever will buy it. • However • If you’re selling retirement funds, who would you target? • If you were selling wedding dresses, who would you target? • People’s unique physical features, age, values, gender, geographic location, and any other feature which makes them unique affects their daily routine and purchasing habits • Therefore, as marketers, the more we know about our potential customers/consumers the better when can anticipate or change their buying habits

  3. Market Segments • By breaking consumers into groups with similar features or buying habits we are creating market segments • By creating this groups we are better able to research our target market and promote our product to them • Some products have only one segment, but others may have many segments

  4. Examples • One Segment: Wedding Gowns • Females, 20-35, getting married • Multiple segments: Jeans • Children • Teenagers • Adults • seniors

  5. Demographics • Demographics break consumers into categories by: • age, • Gender • Income level • Family life cycle • Each of these categories can be broken down further as well • Ie. 0-15, 16-24, 25-44, 45-64, etc

  6. Brainstorm • Marketers have to consider which products are more likely to be purchased by females, males or both • Different products based on place in family life cycle • Single, no kids • Single, with kids • Couple, no kids • Couple, with kids • Single/couple, with teenagers • Empty nesters • Why does income level matter? (low, middle, high) • Picture of class brainstorms will be posted later

  7. Psychographics • Breaking consumers down by lifestyle, values and culture • Brainstorm examples (picture to be posted later) • Example: buying Wedding Gowns varies by values • Western Culture: white gowns • Chinese: red gowns • Indian: red sarees • etc

  8. Geographic • Breaking consumer needs down based on where they live • Example: Compare the needs in Northern Ontario to Cuba (picture to be added later)

  9. Customer Profiles • When you use your marketing research to create a profile of people who buy your product to be better able to promote your product to them
