The document discusses market segmentation and analyzing a target audience for a website. It describes identifying characteristics of the target market such as geographic location, demographics, psychographics, other classifications, and getting to know the audience's needs, wants, expectations and loyalty. The goal of segmentation is to tightly define the target to create an effective website that meets their requirements.
Often when you ask a small business owner who they are targeting as customers, their response is “Everyone”, or “Anybody interested in…” They might refine this audience down to “homeowners” or “people who go to the gym”. This is still too broad. The problem is with this is, not all consumers think alike, and not everyone is going to purchase your product. Because of this broad focus, marketing can miss the mark.
Instead of trying to market to everybody, targeted marketing makes your product or service as attractive as possible to certain groups of people. Firms focus their marketing efforts on a specific and defined audience.
Targeting focuses all marketing efforts on the defined group or groups of people MOST LIKELY to become profitable customers. These groups of customers will have common characteristics and interests and could be based on existing customers, as there is likely to be similar people who you will also benefit. The targeted customers might also be groups of people who overlooked by the competition. If they are profitable, this then presents an opportunity for that business.
With targeting, marketing becomes more affordable, efficient and effective at generating customer leads. Saving money on marketing and a better return on investment are the most obvious benefits of targeted marketing – especially for small businesses with frugal marketing budgets.
Targeted marketing is far more cost-effective than mass marketing as firms are not wasting time and money marketing to people who will never be a customer.
Instead, the target audience is specific types of consumers who are most likely to become customers.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

1. Point of View on
Marketing,
Segmentation and
Positioning
By: Kayla Strausburg
2. Segmentation
Buyers and markets are different in many ways such as in
their needs, wants, locations, resources, attitudes and
behaviors. By segmenting into groups with similar needs, you
can develop a marketing strategy that can effectively target
who you want to gain in your customer base.
3. First type of segmentation is geographic segmentation which
divides a market based on where the consumer lives and
works.
Another segment is based on demographics, which is based
on age, gender, family, income, occupation, education,
religion, ethnicity and generational cohorts.
4. The third is psychographics segmentation which divides a
market based on lifestyle and personality variables.
Lastly is behavioral segmentation which divides a market
based on the purchase behavior and the consumers use and
knowledge of a product.
So the four ways to segment a market are geographic,
demographic, psychographic and behavioral.
5. Once you segment a market, you can decide on which
specific segment or segments are better to target for your
brand or company. Which is called target marketing. A target
market is who you are focused on to engage interest in you.
You want to attract many consumers but you want to target
the correct people who will be interested and help your
company become successful and well established.
6. The segment has to be accessible where the organization
can develop a marketing mix strategy that can be effective in
reaching the group. The more you specify you reduce who
you are targeting which can make it hard to make a
sustainable business.
If you are targeting multiple segments you have to reach
each segment in different ways. You can not always use one
plain to target different types of people because what
intrigues dog lovers might not also intrigue cat lovers.
7. Positioning
In a positioning statement the segment must be identifiable so the
segment is easily recognized. Variables like demographics,
geography, psychographics or behavior are great examples.
Your segment needs to be large enough where your business is
able to make a profit. Would it make sense for you to go into
business to only be able to sell to ten people in the world? Probably
not, even if the price is high you will not be able to generate a
sustainable profit for an extended amount of time.
8. Positioning is how the product is perceived by the consumer
in comparison to other similar products. A product position
statement needs to be a clear and concise statement
describing your target market and paints a vision of how
consumers see your product. With this, with environmental
changes the position statement can move and keep showing
a clear picture of what you want your product to be seen as.
9. Perceptual Map
A perceptual map shows in a graphical form how your
product compares to competitors on key attributes. This is
an easy way to see how you are doing to competitors and
how things can be altered to help your business. Using a
perceptual map in a graphical form is easy to quickly see
the overall levels on key attributes.
10. Segmenting and mapping needs to be aligned with the
organization's objectives and resources. With all these being
said, positioning of a company and segmenting the market
that works for one company might not work for another. You
have to find your own way and still continue to move with
the environment.
