TYPES OF CUSTOMER SEGMENTS
• Mass market - focus on one large group of customers with broadly similar needs and
problems. Example: consumer electronics sector.
• Niche market - cater to specific, specialized customer segments such business models
are often found in supplier-buyer relationship. Example: many car part manufacturers depend
heavily on purchases from major automobile manufacturers.
• Segmented - between market segments with slightly different needs and problems.
Example: Micro Precision Systems, which specializes in providing outsourced micro-mechanical design and
manufacturing solutions. It serves three different customer segments — the watch industry, the medical industry,
and the industrial automation sector — and offers each slightly different Value Propositions.
• Diversified - serves two unrelated customer segments with very different needs and
problems. For example, in 2006 Amazon.com decided to diversify its retail business by selling “cloud
computing” services: online storage space and on-demand server usage.
• Multi-sided platforms (or multi-sided markets) - serve two or more interdependent
customer segments. Example: A credit card company, for example, needs a large base of credit card holders
and a large base of merchants who accept those credit cards.

Bottom
–Up
Approach
Bottom-Up – This approach is often more time-consuming than top-down
market sizing, because you do all of your own market research and you don't
rely solely on generalized forecasts and trends. However, you'll get a more
realistic and accurate assessment of your market's potential.

MARKET TYPE HYPOTHESES

• new product to existing market?
• new product to new market?
• new product to existing market and trying to re-segment
that market?
Each has different cash needs, rates of customer adoption and
acceptance, needs different sales and marketing strategies.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST (SAMPLE)
Hypothesis Test
There is strong Interest in facilitating rental
maintenance support
Interviews (landlord and providers), web ad
conversion
Service providers are willing to pay for lead
generation through our site
Interviews (need to determine consensus
willingness to pay)
There will be a higher response rate amongst
tenants and landlords for an “exclusive”
community
Interviews (tenant and landlord), survey
(tenant), web ad conversion of different
messages
Tenants are willing to pay a nominal fee
($1-2) for convenient rent/utility online
payment service
Interviews (tenant), survey (tenant), web ad
conversion.
(Need at least 0.08% CPM conversion to be
profitable)
Real Estate agents are willing to help push
this offering to their customers
Interviews

WEEK 1 → WEEK 3
Hypothesis
• Existing prepaid cards add value to
a subset of the population
• Underpenetrated
opportunity
• We can find a better channel
to reach this customer
segment and convert them
• Existing prepaid cards are flawed
and can be improved
• We can do something clever
to shake up the fee structure
and/or build in a new
feature (e.g., rewards)
• Solution = prepaid + loyalty card
• Distributed at retail POS
Test
Interviewed supermarket
executives, payment
processors, private label card
manufacturers, prepaid
program managers, loyalty
consultants, and data analytic
firms
Results
User acquisition is critical →
user engagement is everything
Underpenetrated opportunity
because people:
▪ Don’t understand the value
of the card
▪ Don’t know about the card
▪ Haven’t bought one yet
Potential customers are aware of
and understand prepaid, but:
▪ Hate the fees
▪ Haven’t bought one yet

New revenue opportunity is
compelling
Access to purchasing data
outside the store is compelling
Industry Trends
Loyalty + prepaid programs
are the future

lot and are actively exploring it
