THE SEGMENTATION,
TARGETING, AND
POSITIONING (STP) PROCESS
By: Katelyn Givhan
SEGMENTATION
• Step 1: Establish the overall strategy or objectives
- Must be consistent with and derived from the firm’s mission and
objectives as well as its current situation – its strengths weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats (SWOT)
SEGMENTATION
• Step 2: Use Segmentation
methods
- Develops descriptions of different
segments helping the firm
understand the customer profiles in
each segment and distinguish
customer similarities within a
segment and dissimilarities across
segments
TARGETING
• Step 3: Evaluate segment attractiveness
- Marketers must determine whether the
segment is worth pursuing using
descriptive criteria: is the segment
identifiable, substantial, reachable,
responsive, and profitable
TARGETING
Step 4: Select a target market
- Determining how to select target markets is not always
straightforward, there are different strategies such as:
differentiated, concentrated, micromarketing or one-to-one, and
undifferentiated or mass marketing
POSITIONING
• Step 5: Identify and develop positioning strategy
- Market positioning: Involves a process of defining the marketing
mix variables so that target customers have a clear, distinctive,
desirable understanding of what the product does or represents in
comparison with competing products
POSITIONING
• Value positioning: Communicates the customers benefits to be
received from a product or service and there by provides reasons
for wanting to purchase it
• Value Proposition: Represented by the benefits that a firm
provides but that its competitors do not.
- The main value proposition components are: Target market,
offering name or brand, product/service category or concept, and
unique point of difference/benefits
POSITIONING METHODS
• Firms position products and services based on different methods
such as the value proposition, salient attributes, symbols, and
competition.
POSITION USING PERCEPTUAL
MAPPING
• Perceptual Map: Displays, in two or more dimensions, the position
of products or brands in the consumer’s mind
• Ideal Points: The position at which a particular market segment’s
ideal product would lie on a perceptual map
PERCEPTUAL MAPPING
• Marketers follow 6 steps:
1. Determine consumers’ perceptions and evaluations of the
product or service in relation to competitors product or service
2. Identify the market’s ideal points and size
3. Identify Competitors positions
4. Determine consumer preferences
5. Select the position
6. Monitor the positioning strategy
