Market Segmentation

Market Segmentation
• “The process of dividing a potential market into
distinct subsets of consumers and selecting one or
more segments as a target market to be reached
with a distinct marketing mix”.
h Mishra 3
Dr. Amitab

• The breaking down or building up of potential buyers into
groups called Market Segments.
• “The process of defining and subdividing a large
homogenous market into clearly identifiable segments
having similar needs, wants, or demand characteristics
is called Segmentation. Its objective is to design a
marketing mix that precisely matches the expectations of
customers in the targeted segment”.

Need/Benefits of Segmentation
• Segmentation Studies discover the needs and
wants of groups of consumers to develop
specialized products to satisfy group needs.
• Segmentation Studies used to identify the most
appropriate media for advertising.

• It Identifies opportunities & niches for new
product development.
• It Helps design marketing programs most
effectively for reaching homogenous groups of
buyers.
• It Improves allocation of marketing resources.

• It helps firms to overcome competition effectively

Factors affecting Market
Segmentation
• Measurability
– Size, purchasing power, and
profile of segment
• Accessibility
– Can be reached and served
• Substantiality
– Large and profitable enough to
serve
• Differentiability
– Respond differently
• Actionability
– Effective programs can be
developed

Discussion Question
• Considering the largest bank in your
college’s city or town:
– How might consumers’ needs differ?
– What types of products might meet their needs?
– What advertising media makes sense for the
different segments of consumers?

BASES FOR SEGMENTATION
(CONSUMER MARKET)

Bases For Segmentation
(Consumer Market)
• Segmentation strategy begins by selecting
the bases representing the core attributes of
a group of existing or potential customers.

Geographic Segmentation
• “The division of a total potential market into smaller subgroups on
the basis of geographic variables is called Geographic Segmentation”.
Ex-
• Nation,
• Region,
• State, or
• City
• Where customers live determines some aspect of consumption
behavior.

• “The theory behind Geographic Segmentation strategy is
that people who live in the same area share similar
needs & wants and that these needs and wants differ
from those of people living in other areas”
• Ex-
– Climate determine types of Clothing.
– Preference for tea, Skin cleaner, detergent differs across the
different states of India.
– Housing societies are segmented as- LIG, MIG, HIG.

Demographic
Segmentation

Demographic Segmentation
• In demographic segmentation market is divided in to groups on
the basis of variables such as-
– Age.
– Gender.
– Marital Status.
– Income.
– Education.
– Occupation.
– Generation.

• Demographic variables are the most popular
bases for distinguishing customer group. The
reasons are-
• Consumer’s want, preferences and usage rate are often
associated with demographic variables.
• It is easiest and most logical way to classify people.
• It is most cost effective.

AGE
• Products need often vary with consumer’s
age.
• Consumer’s wantsand ability to pay
changes with age.

BABY BOOMERS
• Baby boomers is the largest Age segment of US population.
• It consist of 76 million people/consumers born between 1946
and 1964.
• They spend over 1 trillion annually , control large amount of
nation’s wealth and disposable income.
• As most of them reaching retirement age will also account for
most of the govt. expenditure on social security and medical
benefit.

GENDER
• Many products and services inherently designed for
either Male or Female.
• Gender segmentation has long been applied in-
– Clothing
– Hairstyling
– Cosmetics
– magazines

Special magazines for women, specially
designed scooter for girls.

Reebok produces
“Tone up” brand of
shoos for women
that help them
tone their body

INCOME, EDUCATION & OCCUPATION
• Income is an indicator of the ability to pay for a product
or a specific version of a given product.
is in practice for products
• Income segmentation
categories as-
– Automobiles
– Clothing
– Travel

• A person's occupation affects the goods and services
bought. For example-
– Blue-collar workers tend to buy more rugged work
clothes, whereas white-collar workers buy more
business suits.
– Computer software companies will design different
products for brand managers, accountants, engineers,
lawyers, and doctors.

Automobile companies produce different brand for

Segmentation

Psychographic (lifestyle) Segmentation
• Also known as Lifestyle Analysis.
(lifestyle) variables include
• Psychographic
(AIOs)-
– Activities,
– Interests,
and
– Opinions.

•As an approach to construct the psychographic
profile, AIO research seeks consumer’s
responses to a large number of statements that
measure activities, interest and opinion.

AIO Inventories
AIO studies envisage a wide variety of variables
and measures the major dimensions shown

Socio-Cultural
Segmentation

Socio-Cultural Segmentation
• Sociological (group) and Anthropological (cultural)
variables i.e Socio-Cultural variables provide further
base for market segmentation.
1. Culture
2. Subculture
3. Religion
4. Social class
5. Stages in Family life cycle

Culture
• Culture is the sum total of learned beliefs, values, and customs
that serve to direct the consumer behavior of members of a
particular society.

SOCIAL CLASS
• “Social class implies the hierarchy in which
individuals in a same class has the same degree of
status, whereas members of other class have either
higher or lower status”.
• Consumers in different social class vary in terms of
values, products preferences and buying habits.

• People in the same social class tend to have-
– Similar occupations,
– Similar income levels,
– similar lifestyles
– Share common tastes in clothes,
– Share common tastes decorating styles, and
leisure activities.
– equal social standing in the community.

FAMILY LIFE CYCLE
• This segmentation is based on premise that
many families pass through similar phases in
their formation, growth and final dissolution.
• At each stage, the family unit needs different
products and services.

Use-Related
Segmentation

• Such segmentation categorize product,
service or brand usage
characteristic, such as-
1. Rate of Usage
2. User status
3. Awareness Status
4. Brand Loyalty Etc.

Rate of Usage
• Customers can be segmented on the basis of usage rate of a product
category.
a) Heavy users
b) Medium users
c) Light users &
d) Non-users
• The profiling of heavy users allows this group to receive most marketing attention
(particularly promotion efforts) on the assumption that brand loyalty among these
people will pay heavy dividends.

Mobile companies decide their tariffs on the basis
of Rate of Usage

User status
• Every product has its-
a) Nonusers,
b) Ex-users,
c) Potential users,
d) First-time users and
e) Regular users.

A company cannot always rely on the regular
users, it has to attract the other types as well.
The key too attracting potential users, or
possibly, even non-users, is understanding the
reasons due to which they are not using your
product.

Brand Loyalty
• Consumers can be divided in to 4 groups according
to brand loyalty status-
a) Hard core loyal (Who buy one brand all the time)
b) Split loyal (Who are loyal to two or three brands)
c) Shifting loyal (Shift from one brand to another brand)
d) Switchers (Show no loyalty toward any brand)

• Marketers often try to identify characteristics of
brand loyal customers so that they can direct
their
their
promotional efforts to people with similar characteristics
in larger population.

J &J enjoys huge no. of hardcore
loyal consumers.

basis of special
occasions or situations. like-
– Time of consumption.
– Objective of consumption.
– Location of consumption.

Benefit
Segmentation

Benefit Segmentation
• “Segmenting on the basis of the most important and
meaningful benefit of the product or services that
will be most meaningful to the consumers”.
• Benefit segmentation can be used to position
various products with in the same product category.

• people buy something because it causes a benefit to
them.

Hybrid
Segmentatio
n

• “Marketers commonly segment the market by
combining several segmentation variables
rather than relying on a single segmentation
base”.
– Psychographic-Demographic Profiles
– Geo-demographic Segmentation
– SRI Consulting's VALS

Psychographic-Demographic Profiles
highly
• Psychographic(lifestyle) and Demographic Profiles are
complementary approaches that work best when used together.
• Psychographic-Demographic Profiling has been widely used in the
development of advertising campaign to answer threequestions:
– Whom should be targeted?
– What should we say?
– Where should we say it?

Geo-demographic Segmentation
• Geo-demographic segmentation was first developed
in the USA and UK some twenty years ago.
• It refers to “segmenting the population by
recognizing that people generally live in close
proximity to other people who are demographically
similar”

• “Geo-demographic is a hybrid segmentation
scheme based on premise that people who
live close to one another are likely to have
similar financial means, tastes, preferences,
lifestyle, consumption habit”.
“Birds of a feather flock together”

• The primary commercial use of this technique in US
was Claritas PRIZM NE classification.
• It is a widely used customer segmentation system
for marketing in the United States.
• The Claritas PRIZM NE system categorizes U.S.
consumers into 14 distinct groups and 66
demographically and behaviorally distinct types, or
"segments,”.

Few among them are-

Movers & Shakers
• Movers & Shakers is home to America's up-and-coming business
class: a wealthy suburban world of dual-income couples who are
highly educated.
• They are typically between the ages of 35 and 54 and often with
children.
• Given its high percentage of executives and white-collar
professionals, there's a decided business bent to this segment:
Movers & Shakers rank number one for owning a small business
and having a home office.

New Empty Nests
• With their grown-up children recently out of the house,
New Empty Nests is composed of upscale older
Americans who pursue active-and activist-lifestyles.
• Nearly three-quarters of residents are over 65 years old,
but they show no interest in a resthome retirement.
• This is the top-ranked segment for all-inclusive travel
packages; the favorite destination is Italy.

Boomtown Singles
• Affordable housing, abundant entry-level jobs and a
thriving singles scene-all have given rise to the
Boomtown Singles segment in fast-growing satellite
cities.
• Young, single and working-class, these residents
pursue active lifestyles amid sprawling apartment
complexes, bars, convenience stores and
laundromats.

Bedrock America
• Bedrock America consists of young, economically challenged
families in small, isolated towns located throughout the nation.
• With modest educations, sprawling families and blue-collar jobs,
many of these residents struggle to make ends meet.
• One quarter live in mobile homes. One in three haven't finished
high school.
• Rich in scenery, Bedrock America is a haven for fishing, hunting,
hiking and camping.

SRI Consulting’s VALS System
•VALS segmentation combining Values and Lifestyle.
•The VALS theory and database were first applied to markets in 1978.
•VALS segmentation classify the American adult population in to 8 distinct segments.
1. Actualizers
2. Fulfilleds
3. Achievers
4. Experiencers
5. Believers
6. Strivers
7. Makers
8. Strugglers

VALS Framework

• When we examine the diagram from left to right there are 3
three primary motivations-
– Ideals motivated (these consumer segments
are guided by knowledge and principals)
– Achievement motivated (these consumer segments are looking
for products that demonstrate success to their peers)
– Self-expression motivated(these consumer segments
desire social or physical activity , variety and risk)

• From top to bottom the diagram reveals a
kind of continuum in terms of
– Resource &
– Innovation.
• On the top high resource
and high innovation.
• On the bottom low resource and
low innovation.

BASES FOR SEGMENTATION
(INDUSTRIAL/BUSINESS MARKET)

Major Segmentation Variables
for Business Markets
• “Industrial market segmentation is a scheme for
categorizing industrial/business customers to guide
strategic and tactical decision-making”.
• Segmenting industrial markets is different
challenging because of greater complexity
and more
in buying
processes, buying criteria, and the complexity of industrial
products and services themselves.

• Major segmentation variables for Business Market are-
– Demographic
– Operating Variables
– Purchasing Approaches
– Situational factors
– Buyers’ personal characteristics

Demographic
• Industry (Which industries should we serve?)
• Company
serve?)
size (What size companies should we
• Location
serve?)
(What geographical areas should we

Operating Variables
• Technology (What customer technologies should
we focus on?)
• User/Nonuser status (Should we serve heavy
users, medium users, light users, or nonusers?)
• Customer capabilities (Should we serve customers
needing many or few services?)

Purchasing Approaches
• Purchasing-function organization (Should
we serve companies with highly centralized
or decentralized purchasing organizations?)
• Power structure (Should we serve
companies that are engineering dominated,
financially dominated, and so on?)

Situational factors
• Situational factors:
– Urgency of order
– Product application
– Size of order

Buyers’ Personal Characteristics
• Buyers’ personal characteristics:
– Character,
– Approach
