Market segmentation and consumer target

Consumer targeting
More varied media consumption
declining consumer loyalty
individulisation of tastes and subsequent fragmantation of markets which is more costly to target
less cleary defined and segmented lifestyles
less predictable consumer behaviour

Segmentation

Segmentation is the indentification of groups of consumers within a market who share similar buyer behaviour, needs, motivations and attitudes.
Right product to right person

Segmentation - what i should ask myself
Is the segment indenitifiable?
Is the segment visable?
Is the segment accessible?
Is the segment measurable?
action - ability?

How realistic is getting your market?

Quantitative research - numbers
