What is TARGETING?Targeting is a broad term that is used to describe the process of identifying groups of consumers who are highly likely to purchase a specific goods & services.
After segmenting the market based on the different groups and classes, we need to choose our targets.

Procedure of TARGETING
A well defined target market is the first element to a marketing strategy.
Once the distinct customers have been identified a marketing mix strategy of product, distribution, promotion & price can be built to satisfy the target market. The process are:
1. Evaluating Market Segments To Target,
2. Selecting The Target Market
(Targeting Strategies)

Evaluating Market Segments To Target
A firm must evaluate the potential of the segment & also its own ability to tap it. Marketers need to ensure that the organization objectives are fulfilled while serving a particular segment of the market. A firm must look at three major factors:
SEGMENT SIZE & GROWTH,
SEGMENT STRUCTURAL
ATTRATIVENESS,
COMPANY OBJECTIVES & RESOURCES.
5
SEGMENT SIZE & GROWTH:Segmentation analysis requires predicting demand for each component of a product market rather than for the product market as a whole. The sum estimates for each segment should be equal to the estimate for the entire product.
SEGMENT STRUCTURAL ATTRACTIVENESS: Company also needs to examine major structural factors that affect long run segment attractiveness. A segment may be less attractive if it contains powerful suppliers who can control prices or reduce the quality or quantity of ordered goods & services.
COMPANY OBJECTIVES & RESOURCES:Even if a company has the right size & growth, is structurally attractive, the company must consider its own objectives & resources in relation to that segment.
6
Targeting Strategies :
After evaluating different segments the company must now decide which & how many segments to serve. This is the problem of target market selection. Alternative segments targeting strategies or types can be classified into two parts:
LIMITED COVERAGE MARKET TARGETING,
&
FULL MARKET COVERAGE TARGETING.
