Publishing as Prentice Hall8-10P&G targets kids with Crest Kid’s Cavity Protection toothpaste.

segmentation divides amarket into affluent or low-income segments −Since it‟s a tricky variable, guard against stereotypes (blue-collar workers‟ color TV buying; Economical car buying) −Identify and target the affluent for luxury goods and the poor for cheap goods −Most manufacturers have different grades of products for different markets.
