This document discusses market segmentation, which is the process companies use to divide large heterogeneous markets into smaller markets that can be reached more efficiently. It describes how to segment consumer markets using geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral variables. It also discusses segmenting business and international markets. Effective segmentation requires segments to be measurable, accessible, substantial, differentiable, and actionable. Companies then evaluate segments based on size, growth, attractiveness, and their objectives and resources to select target market segments to pursue.

Market segmentation is the practice of dividing your target market into approachable groups. Market segmentation creates subsets of a market based on demographics, needs, priorities, common interests, and other psychographic or behavioral criteria used to better understand the target audience. Splitting up an audience in this way allows for more precisely targeted marketing and personalized content.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Market Segmentation
Market segmentation is the process that
companies use to divide large heterogeneous
markets into small markets that can be reached
more efficiently and effectively with products
and services that match their unique needs.
(1) Use a variety of different meaningful variables (bases)
for segmenting
(2) Segments can be better reached with the resources of
the marketer
6. 7-6
Market Segmentation
Segmenting Consumer Markets
Marketers try different segmentation variables, alone and in
combination, to find the best way to view the market
structure.
• Geographic segmentation
• Demographic segmentation
• Psychographic segmentation
• Behavioral segmentation
7. 7-7
Market Segmentation
Segmenting Consumer Markets
• Geographic segmentation divides the market
into different geographical units such as
nations, regions, states, counties, cities, or
even neighborhoods.

Market Segmentation
Segmenting Consumer Markets
• Demographic segmentation divides the
market into groups based on variables such as
age, gender, family size, family life cycle,
income, occupation, education, religion, race,
generation, and nationality.
(1) Consumer needs, wants, and usage rates often vary
closely with demographic variables;
(2) Easier to measure than other variables;

Market Segmentation
Segmenting Consumer Markets
• Age and life-cycle stage segmentation is the
process of offering different products or using
different marketing approaches for different age
and life-cycle groups.
• Gender segmentation divides the market
based on sex (male or female).
• Income segmentation divides the market into
affluent or low-income consumers.
12. 7-12
Be careful to guard against stereotypes when using age
and life-cycle segmentation.
Age is a poor predictor of a person’s life cycle, health,
work or family status, needs and buying power.
What are the traditional family life-cycle stages?
- Young singles
- Married couples with children
What are the non-traditional family life-cycle stages?
(Marketers are increasingly catering to…)
- Unmarried couples
- Singles marrying later in life
- Childless couples
- Same-sex couples
- Single parents
- Extended parents (those with young children returning home)

• Occasion segmentation divides buyers into
groups according to occasions when they get the
idea to buy, actually make purchases, or respond
to a product. – help build up product usage
• Benefit segmentation requires finding the major
benefits people look for in the product class, the
kinds of people who look for each benefit, and the
major brands that deliver each benefit.
18. 7-18
Market Segmentation
Segmenting Consumer Markets
• User status divides buyers into ex-users,
potential users, first-time users, and regular
users of a product.
• Usage rate divides buyers into light, medium,
and heavy product users.
• Loyalty status divides buyers into groups
according to their degree of loyalty.
20. 7-20
Market Segmentation
Using Multiple Segmentation Bases
• Multiple segmentation is used to identify
smaller, better-defined target groups.
• Geodemographic segmentation is an example
of multivariable segmentation that divides
groups into consumer lifestyle patterns.

55. 7-55
Differentiation and Positioning
Choosing a Differentiation and Positioning
Strategy
• Identifying a set of possible competitive

Competitive advantage is the advantage over competitors gained
by offering greater value either through lower prices or by
providing more benefits that justify higher prices
56. 7-56
Differentiation and Positioning
Choosing a Differentiation and Positioning
Strategy
Step 1: Identifying a set of possible competitive advantages
to build a position by providing superior value from:
• Product differentiation on features, performance, style or
design
• Service differentiation through speedy, convenient, or
careful delivery
• Channels - coverage, expertise, and performance
• People – hiring and training better people
• Image – company or brand image
58. 7-58
Step 2: Choosing the Right Competitive Advantages
• A difference is worth establishing to the extent that it
satisfies the following criteria:
• Important – delivers a highly valued benefit to target buyers

• Superior – superior to other ways
• Communicable – visible to buyers
• Preemptive – cannot easily be copied
• Affordable – buyers can pay for the difference
• Profitable
Differentiation and Positioning
59. 7-59
Differentiation and Positioning
Step 3: Selecting an Overall Strategy
• Value proposition is the full mix of benefits upon
which a brand is positioned.
• More for more
• More for the same
• Same for less
• Less for much less
• More for less
61. 7-61
Developing a Positioning Statement
• Positioning statement states the product’s
membership in a category and then shows its point-
of-difference from other members of the category.
• “To (target segment and need), our (brand) is
(concept) that (point of difference).”
• To busy professionals who need to stay organized,
Palm is an electronic organizer that allows you to
backup files on your PC more easily and reliably than
competitive products

brands in a particular product category?
2. What basis of segmentation does P&G use to
differentiate the products?
3. How does P&G use its variety of brands to build
relationships with the right customers?

Editor's Notes
can mention how the division of nations make up different markets
can further illustrate each nation is further divided into provinces/states/cities where the markets could be different
illustrates different occupations could mean different buying power (eg. Doctors earn more than nurses)
different occupations could mean different needs for different types of products (eg. Office workers need to buy work clothes, while blue-collared workers usually attired differently)
Families with young children have different needs from families with grown children – products and services purchased differ
