  14. Behavior Segmentation • Focus on whether people purchase a product or not, how much, and how often they use it • User status • Law of disproportionality/Pareto’s Law–80% of a company’s revenues are accounted for by 20% of the customers

  15. Benefit Segmentation • Benefit segmentation focuses on the value equation • Value=Benefits/Price • Based on understanding the problem a product solves, the benefit it offers, or the issue it addresses

  16. Target Marketing Strategies

  17. Standardized/Undifferentiated Marketing • Focus is on common (not different) needs of consumers. • Product and marketing program are geared to the largest number of buyers. • Uses mass advertising and distribution and aims to give the product a a superior image .

  18. Differentiated/ Multi segment Marketing • Firm targets several market segments and designs separate offers for each. • The goal is to have higher sales and a stronger position with each market segment. • This approach increases the costs of doing business.

  20. Concentrated Marketing • The focus is acquiring a large share of one or a few segments of niches. • Generally, there are fewer competitors. • The Internet is ideal for targeting small niche markets. • There is some risk in focusing on only one market.

  21. Concentrated global marketing Niche marketing Single segment of global market Look for global depth rather than national breadth Ex.: Chanel, Body Shop Differentiated global marketing Multi-segment targeting Two or more distinct markets Wider market coverage Ex.: P&G markets Old Spice and Hugo Boss for Men Target Market Strategy Options
