10. Sales targets by product
• Setting specific goals for each product is a simple and effective way to meet
your monthly sales budget.
• Product sales targets usually list the number of products you need to sell, as
well as the targeted average sale price you need to get, to achieve a
budgeted profit.
• Sales targets set by product also include other important business
information, such as stock and storage requirements.

11. Example sales targets table
• Set out your sales goals by product or service, identifying the profit you
need to make from each product sale and the volume of sales you
anticipate.

12. Sales targets by market segment
• Customer researchers often choose to group market segments by:
• Geographic (based on location such as home addresses)
• Demographics (based on measurable statistics, such as income, age, gender, family size,
income, occupation, education, socio-economic status, religion, nationality)
• Psychographics (based on lifestyle preferences, such as being urban dwellers or pet lovers,
personality, lifestyle, values, attitudes)

by pitching your products and services to these characteristics of your market
segments.

13. Sales targets by region

sales targets by region - removing the difficulty and frustration of setting
and monitoring individual targets for large numbers of products.
• These businesses find it easier to set a dollar figure target per region,
covering the whole product range and all the customers in that region.
• Regional targets are 'big picture' targets. Because they cover large customer
numbers and don't specify product sales, you need to keep them simple -
one figure per area.

distribution of ideas, goods, and services. A marketing strategy is composed of several
interrelated components called the marketing mix.

research and focus on the right product mix in order to achieve the maximum profit
potential and sustain the business.The marketing strategy is the foundation of a marketing
