PROCESS OF MARKET SEGMENTATION
The manufactures can adopt 4 important strategies are ;
1.Undifferentiated marketing
2.Differentiated marketing
3.Concentrated marketing
4.Customised marketing

Under this strategy, the producer does not differentiate between different consumers . ie , one marketing mix is used for whole market. eg ; soft drinks like Thumps – Up etc.
2.Differentiated marketing
Under this strategy, a number of market segments are identified and a different marketing mix is developed for each of the segments . It is one of most popular approach.
3.Concentrated marketing
It deals with the concentration of all marketing efforts on one selected segment within the total market . The producer selects a market where there is a little or no competition.
4.Customised marketing
Under this , the firms view each customer as a separate segment & customise marketing programmes to that individual’s specific requirements like interior design.
