    Target Markets

    One of the reasons why marketing arose wasbecause of the diversity of markets and complexhuman needs and wants

    As competition increased and more producersstarted producing similar goods, the need tocarve out exclusive niches arose

    This could be done by changes to the productDIFFERENTIATION, or to the market definitions- SEGMENTATION

    30/92

    Segmentation & Targeting

    If segmentation is about breaking up a massmarket into more specific subsets, targeting is allabout the decisions to appeal to them

    Treating them all as one large group with a

    common interest is called UNDIFFERENTIATEDmarketing Selecting one small niche and catering to that

    segment is called CONCENTRATED marketing

    Identifying several unique subsets and talking tothem individually is called DIFERENTIATEDmarketing

  • 7/31/2019 Fundamentals of Marketing New[1]
