Market Segmentation
Division of a market into distinct groups of consumers with similar characteristics, needs, or behaviors.
Real World
Nike segments its market by demographics (age, gender), psychographics (lifestyle), and behaviour (sport type), targeting separate campaigns at teenage basketball players versus adult marathon runners.
Exam Focus
When asked to 'explain' segmentation, always link the method to a business benefit such as reduced marketing waste.
