© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 2 Segmentation Market Segmentation With a large country Many different types of people - it is too difficult to create a product that will satisfy everybody, that is why we focus on a segment of the total market
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 3 Segmentation Market Segmentation Defn “Grouping people according to their similarity related to a particular product category”
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 4 Segmentation Market Segmentation Two Step Process 1. Naming broad product-markets 2. Segmenting these to select target markets
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 5 Segmentation Clustering Marketing-Oriented managers know that segmenting involves clustering people with similar needs into a market
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 6 Segmentation Market Segmentation Four Criteria for determining if the segment you have is useful 1. Homogenous 2. Heterogenous 3. Substantial 4. Operational
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 7 Segmentation Market Segmentation Four Criteria 1. Homogenous - the people within the segment are all similar 2. Heterogenous - the people between segments should be very different 3. Substantial - the segment should have enough people to make to worthwhile 4. Operational - the dimensions should be useful

© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 12 Segmentation Market Segmentation Psychographic / lifestyles - based on people’s opinions, interests, lifestyles eg, people who like hard rock music probably prefer beer to wine benefits - based on the different expectation that customers have about what a product/service can do for them eg. People who want to but “lite” food cause ti will help them lose weight

Immigrants come to Canada and make their homes in the cities 2. Canadians are moving out of the rural areas and in to the cities

© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 17 Segmentation Geographic Segmentation The reason why we study geographic segmentation is because WHERE people live has a big effect on their consumption patterns. Additionally, WHERE people live in a city is also a reflection of their income level and we can make certain assumptions about their ABILITY TO SPEND based upon their address. This helps people plan store locations and the location of other services.

© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 20 Segmentation Demographic Segmentation Demographic Segmentation is the most common approach to Market Segmentation Variables are: gender (male/female) gender is an obvious way to divide the market into segments since so many products are gender-specific clothing medical products sports products/services entertainment Examples ??

© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 22 Segmentation Demographic Segmentation age also, people have different consumption patterns at different ages eg. Milk products children and teens drink a lot of milk adults don’t older adults need calcium, but don’t drink milk (they take pills) Examples ??

© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 32 Segmentation Demographic Segmentation income Segmenting markets on the basis of income and expenditure patterns - The number of single mom families has increased by 12.8% between 1985 and Male single parent families have more income, on average, than Female single parent families (chart 3.6)
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 33 Segmentation Engel’s Laws As family income increases …… a smaller % goes for food - TRUE the % spent on housing and household operations and clothing will remain constant (that is grow as total income grows) - FALSE in reality this amount declines the % spent on recreation, education will increase - TRUE, but there are exceptions
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 34 Segmentation Engel’s Laws Why is this important…… because marketing managers can use this law to figure out what will happen (ie. What kinds of spending patterns will develop) if people’s incomes increase also, if you are planning on going into a new market, where people have more money - this “law” helps you to plan how people’s spending patterns will be different

Diet coke - less sugar, lose weight ie. Extra white toothpaste, whiter teeth, better smile
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 41 Segmentation Benefit Segmentation “Many marketers now consider benefit segmentation one of the most useful methods of classifying markets” ie. Watches - the benefits customers looked for where durability and product quality- older research was based on dividing the watch market according to a different segment - once they used the new segment, they changed the marketing plan- modern example would be price of PCs for home use - biggest use is entertainment NOT schoolwork or home based businesses

© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 46 Segmentation Criteria for Segmenting Combined Target Market approach Eg. A company that makes garlic flavoured cream cheese competition is companies that use single market approach and make roasted garlic and garlic and herb cream cheese “… too much combining is risky …”
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 47 Segmentation Segmenting “...Should you Segment, or Combine …” the text says it is better to segment - also, depends on which gives you the best profit TR - it also depends on what competition does !
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 48 Segmentation Profit is the Balancing Point In trying to determine whether you should divide the market up into many segments, and sell variations of the product to different segments, or sell the same product to everybody, the deciding factor is based on which option will give you the most profit
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 49 Segmentation Market Segmentation “… cost considerations encourage more aggregating to obtain economies of scale … demand considerations suggest less aggregating to satisfy needs more exactly…” …” what does this mean ?
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 50 Segmentation Market Segmentation “… Segmenting is an aggregating process …” what does this mean ?
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 51 Segmentation Market Segmentation Aggregate - 1. collected; collective, total 2. Sum total 3. Unite - Oxford Pocket Dictionary TR. - all the stuff together Aggregating - putting things together which are similar
© Professor Tim Richardson matches some of Chpt 3 in Wong, 11 th ed. slide 52 Segmentation Market Segmentation Aggregating “… how far should the aggregating go …”? - sometimes not everybody will fit, you can leave them out, or just call it “other” “… these people are simply too few … may have to be ignored unless they are willing to pay a high price for special treatment…”
