“..if the circus is coming to town and you paint a sign saying ‘Circus Coming to the Fairground Saturday’, that’s advertising. If you put the sign on the back of an elephant and walk it into town, that’s promotion. If the elephant walks through the mayor’s flower bed, that’s publicity. And if you get the mayor to laugh about it, that’s public relations.” If the town’s citizens go to the circus, and buy tickets, that’s sales.
If you actually intended for all this to happen …..
that’s marketing!

Market segmentation is a marketing strategy that involves dividing a broad target market into subsets
of consumers who have common needs and priorities, and then designing and implementing
strategies to target them.

@equintanilla
Every Business Should Begin by Asking the Following:
• Who Are My Customers?• What Are They Like?• What Do They Want?• Where Can I Find Them?• How Can I Reach Them?• What Should I Say To Them?

@equintanilla
Segmenting
• People in the various segments of the market want different things
• Segment your market by identifying and determining those needs
• How to identify customer segments?– Market research– Quantitative research (e.g., surveys, customer feedback,
etc.) • Focus Groups• Interviews• Surveys: Telephone, Mail, and Web
– Group the customers with similar needs and give them a suitable name.
@equintanilla
Branding: Targeting
• Focus on a target customer to address the particular customer need(s)
• How to identify the appropriate customer segments for your business:– They have an important need and your brand meets that need – Your brand has the potential to be preferred by them– They have the potential to provide your organization with the
ample revenues and profits over the long run.– You can build a long-term relationship with and increasingly fulfill
the evolving needs of the customer

“Humans have, throughout our history, gathered in tribes… Rather than as a single humanity… people become disconnected from other individuals and organizations that threaten their identity… fear takes over as we fight for our share… we build relationships based on a need for security rather than meaning and fulfillment.”
From:The 7 Mindsets to Live Your Ultimate Life by Scott Shickler and Jeff Waller.
@equintanilla
My Target Market
• Define my target market.• Who is my ideal customer? The one most
likely to buy?• What worldview do you share with them?
What “Tribe” are they a part of?• Write a profile description of my potential
customer, using demographics and lifestyle.
@equintanilla
Who Will Buy?
• DO THE MATH
• How many customers in my profile description are really out there?
• Are there enough of them to sustain my business?
@equintanilla
2) Remarkable Differentiator
• What people really buy?
• Your unique product/service• Your unique process• Your unique experience• Your unique people• Your unique guarantee• Your unique packaging/delivery– …..Against a problem
– Its not about the products you sell, its about the problems you solve!
@equintanilla

Express Yourself
@equintanilla
Branding: Positioning
• Think about brand benefits and relevant differentiation for the target customers
• The more detailed the target customer description, the more powerful and nuanced the brand's unique value proposition can be
• Define the intended brand position/positioning (as opposed to the actual brand position in the mind of the customer)
• It will also help later when developing marketing and media plans

@equintanilla
Brand positioning statement
• Positioning statement defined– A one- or two-sentence statement that articulates your product or
service's unique value to your customers in relation to your chief competition
• The four main components– Define the target audience -- the attitudinal and need description of
your core customer group– Establish the category in which the brand competes– Highlight the benefit(s)– Give the potential consumer a reason to believe the brand will
deliver on its promise
@equintanilla
Example of a positioning statement
• For homemakers, Dow Bathroom Products are the easy way to get a great clean shine for your tub, tile and toilet. That’s because only Dow Bathroom Products contain scrubbing bubbles that cut through dirt and grime clean to the shine!
Source: Dow Bathroom Products
@equintanilla
Example of a positioning statement
• For women ages 25-55, Loreal Revitalift Anti-wrinkle and firming cream reduces facial wrinkles and firms your skin.
NO REASON WHY!
Source: L'Oreal RevitaLift
@equintanilla
Evaluate your positioning statement
• Criteria for evaluation– Ask yourself if the statement is memorable and
focused on the core consumer – Does it produces in your mind a clear picture of how
your brand is different from the competition? – Is it credible and enables the growth of the brand? – Does it serve as a filter for making decisions about the
brand? • Review at a later date and be flexible as the
business environment and competition changes
@equintanilla
Often Forgotten Step.. Competition
Look at your competitors • Their website• Shop them• Talk to customers• Keep a log when you compete
To differentiate, you have to be different …
• Who is your competition?• How do they sell?
• How does your product compare?• How will you win against them?
@equintanilla
Competitive Advantage
• Offering added value• New invention• Satisfaction• Providing more benefits• Solving more problems

E-mail Basics
Opt-in mailing lists are now the preferred method for customers.
Consider creating an online newsletter. Consider time-limited online "coupons" that can be
redeemed at your site. Each email should also contain instructions for removed
from the email list. Best email content should be shared. Forwards are nice,
but most people these days want to tweet, Like, +1, post on LinkedIn, or share on other social networks.
Track everything: email open rates, clicks on the link provided in the email, the views on the landing page, and all social media shares.
@equintanilla
Tip: What to post ..
Add Social Media Icons to your email campaigns and all landing pages.
