marketing segmentation
Market segmentation involves dividing a large market into smaller subgroups of consumers with similar characteristics or needs. It is done by segmenting consumers, not products or prices. Markets can be segmented by geography, demographics, psychographics, and buying behavior. Some examples of market segmentation include segmenting the watch market by price range, segmenting the car market by age groups, and segmenting the food market by lifestyle or dietary preferences. The key to effective segmentation is identifying distinct groups that respond differently to marketing strategies so companies can better target their products.
