This document discusses market segmentation and targeting. It defines market segmentation as dividing a large market into smaller subgroups with unique needs. The key points are: 1. Markets can be segmented by geography, demographics, psychographics, and behaviors. 2. Choosing target markets allows companies to better meet customer needs and allocate resources efficiently. 3. Common targeting strategies are undifferentiated, where one product is marketed to all, concentrated, where one segment is targeted, and multisegment, where multiple segments are targeted.

Editor's Notes
- #7 Chapter 8 Segmenting and Targeting Markets Notes: Market segmentation was rare before the 1960’s. Consider Coca-Cola with its one product aimed at the entire soft drink market. Today over a dozen different products are marketed by the company to different market segments. Market segmentation plays a key role in the marketing strategy of organizations, leading to competitive advantage. The benefits are described on this slide. Discussion/Team Activity: Discuss how Coca-Cola’s product lines fit the needs of different market segments. Name different fashion retailers and identify their marketing segmentation strategies.

- #17 Note to Instructor Students often get confused with the difference between behavioral and psychographic segmentation. Behavior is more tied into how consumers use the product. A good illustration is greeting cards—ask students how their purchasing would be different when buying a birthday card for their mother versus one for a new boyfriend. In addition, ask them how people might look for different benefits when purchasing a car? Some might look for safety while others will look for the best gas mileage.
