Presented at XIMB, this presentation talks about the development of a hypothetical app that balances your work and life. It takes into account the responses by the students at XIMB and then based on analyses on SPSS, a marketing strategy is developed to leverage on the target groups through appropriate positioning. Linear Regression, Factor, Cluster, Chi square and Conjoint Analyses have been used to identify the target segments based on attitudinal and demographic segmentation and the factors that influence their preferences.

25. Marketing Strategy- STP
We have used two forms of segmentation data – demographic segmentation
and attitudinal segmentation to converge on our target groups.
26. We deal with Demographic Segmentation to get a rudimentary picture of the careers and
lifestyles of people (based on the age groups) – this will help us identify what is the mentality
of people that are ready to try the app and/or have rated the app highly. We have also
segmented on the basis of gender – we get a clear of the stress levels at the workplace of men
and women – based on the two afore mentioned criteria, thus telling us again, which groups
are we going to target and how do we position our product.

29. Positioning of the winner concept (Based and To the Demographic Target Segments)
Based on Intention to Try and Overall Ratings given:
We see that the age groups of 15-25 and 25-35 display the highest intentions to try. These people are
at the start of their careers and are also under a considerable level of stress. Their salaries are
implicative of careers that are beginning to transition from new entrants to mid level management. The
app is positioned as an app that lets them rediscover and reconnect with their true side – a side that
is buried under their stressful work and concerns surrounding their families.
Men and women that have begun to take responsibilities, are under similar stress levels at their
workplaces, as displayed in the segmentation data based on gender and work experience. The app
gives them the much needed break to optimise their available time and it is positioned as an app for
the fast growing, tech savvy and ultra-efficient youth force of the country.
The app leverages itself via its tech savvy and unique features that help it gain acceptance with the
hard working, individualistic youth. Their relevance is more apparent when we look at the attitudinal
segmentation
30. Attitudinal Segmentation is a critical aspect of the Marketing Strategy.
Through the questionnaire, we capture the underlying attitudinal orientations of people and
this is a more direct indicator of their preference for the app (and its features.)
The positioning that we will attempt here will be more direct and relevant to the attitudinal
orientations of people.
This level of segmentation gives us a clear picture of the needs, wants and desires of people,
how they project themselves in the world – and subsequently we try and bring a degree of
coherence between the features of the product designed and the preferences of people.
Attitudinal Segmentation
31. The Social Worker – 56.90 percent have indicated strong intentions to try and high overall ratings.
However, 11.50 percent of the segment have displayed an indifference to trying the product, despite giving
high overall ratings; while 9.20 percent have given average overall rating but high inclination to try the
product. This shows that a projecting of the social aspects of the app can actually help us convert these
segments that have displayed some sort of interest in the app. 55.40 and 44.60 percent belong to the
income category of < 10 and 10-20 lakh pa segment. 25.80 and 68.2 percent have work experience of less
than 1 year and between 1-4 years.
Attitudinal Segmentation
The Show-men– 47.80 percent have indicated strong intentions to try and high overall ratings. However,
14.90 percent of the segment have displayed an indifference to trying the product and have given average
overall ratings; while 16.40 percent have high overall rating but have displayed average inclination to try
the product. 55.20 and 37.30 percent belong to the income category of < 10 and 10-20 lakh pa segment.
40.3 and 49.3 percent have work experience of less than 1 year and between 1-4 years. Positioning the
app as glamorous can help rope in this segment.
32. Empathetic Power Seekers – 59.10 percent have indicated strong intentions to try and high overall ratings.
However, 12.10 percent of the segment have given high overall ratings but displayed low intention to try it;
while 10.60 percent have given high overall rating but shown average inclination to try the product. This
shows that the app is to be positioned as credible and conducive to their pursuits of success while keeping
them in cue with their altruism. 66.70 and 30.30percent belong to the income category of < 10 and 10-20
lakh pa segment. 30 and 61.5 percent have work experience of less than 1 year and between 1-4 years.
Attitudinal Segmentation
The Value Seekers– 61.40 percent have indicated strong intentions to try and high overall ratings.
However, 11.40 percent of the segment have displayed an indifference to trying the product and have
given high overall ratings; while 9.10 percent have average overall rating and displayed average inclination
to try the product. 55.20 and 37.30 percent belong to the income category of < 10 and 10-20 lakh pa
segment. 34.1 and 61.4 percent have work experience of less than 1 year and between 1-4 years.
33. This app is to be positioned as a tech savvy app for the young socially sensitised
generation that offers a host of options and features. It should help them serve
their community better while contributing to a change in their lifestyles and the
society through intelligent planning of their schedules and fulfilling activities in life.
It must complement the intense lifestyle of the young working crowd (reflected in
the segmentation details). It should help them balance their stressful work life with
traditional values that will help them retain their original culture and project them
as responsible, fun loving, socially and self aware individuals with a convincing
measure of probity.
Positioning
34. Summary
Through multiple linear regression between we could understand that
85.7% variation in Intention to try can be explained by Uniqueness,
Relevance and credibility of the app and its concept.
Target groups were identified using cross tabs and chi-square test for
independence. We could find that people with work-ex less than 4 years
and both genders could be targeted.
Conjoint Analysis helped to understand the relative importance of various
attributes. The analysis of winner concept helped to understand what
features people look for in such an app.
Factor Analysis helped us reduce the number of variables to identify latent
attitudinal factors like Glam-Life, Social – visibility, Materialism,
Metropolis, Completion. These influence using of “work life balance app”.
Cluster Analysis, helped us identify the heterogeneous clusters of people
(The Social Worker, The Showmen, Empathetic Power-seekers, The
Value-seekers), segmented on the basis of there attitudinal scores (got
from factor analysis)
35. Discriminant Analysis helped us infer that factors like Social-visibility and glam
life were more important in discriminating the clusters.
By making cross-tabs and chi-square analysis with cluster membership and
target variables, most of the clusters had major percentage of people. However
Empathetic power seekers and the Value-seekers have relatively more
percentage of people who like the product and have showed the will to try the
product.
Finally, we found the characteristics of the segments and could conclude that
the demographic target group and the attitudinal segments are related to a
significant extent. Hence our target group would be work-ex <= 4 years and like
materialism, urban living and completion.
We concluded that, people who have less than 4 years of experience have
recently entered into work life and might be facing mid-life crisis. Moreover
people who are more materialistic and live in urban places are very aggressive
and are prone to work life imbalance. Therefore a concept of work-life balance
would be appealing to them as it could help them cope with their rigorous
lifestyles.
