3. Segmenting markets is a foundation for superior performance by
understanding buyer‟s needs and wants.
Market segmentation is the process of identifying and analyzing sub groups
of buyers in a product-market with similar response characteristics (eg:
budget, activities, time consideration & etc).
Companies should grab opportunities to provide wide ranging products.
For example: Airlines options to Dhaka, from Malindo Air, Biman
Bangladesh, Regent Airways and MAS. Most of the carriers, offers
different types of fares level and checked – in luggage.
Introduction
4. Levels and Types of Market Segmentation (Exhibit 3.1)
Link to management vision & strategic intent
of corporate strategy & emphasize products
benefits that different types of buyers seek.
Example: Ticketing Department:
i) Corporate Clients
ii) Walk In/Phone Call Clients
Concerned with allocating resources
around segment targets, including
them in marketing plans & aligning
organizational processes around
them.
Example: Wholesaler Agent‟s
conducting FAM trip.
Concerned with the marketing program changes
needed to reach segment targets with advertising
& promotions and with distribution systems.
Example: Promoting MATTA Fair through
various of channel distribution.
5. Market segmentation should be considered early in development of market
–driven strategy.
Exhibit .2: Segmentation in the Market –Driven Strategy Process.
Market-Driven Strategy and Segmentation
6. Market segmentation is the process of placing the buyers in a product-
market into subgroups which can be indicated by the amount and
frequency of purchase, loyalty to particular brand and other measures of
responsiveness.
The opportunity for segmentation occurs when differences in buyers‟
demand (response) functions allow market demand to be divided into
segments, each with different demand function.
Example: Redang Beach Resort offers 3 types of room categories, which
are superior room, standard room and club deluxe room.
Market Segmentation, Value Opportunities & New Market Space
7. Market segment also can be refer as market niche which represents a small
portion of the buyers in the total market.
Segmentation helps company to provide varieties of products or services as
well as able to meet customer satisfaction by providing a value offering that
matches the value proposition.
Company also may get opportunities to tap into new areas of value and
create a unique space in market. It can be described in the Innovation
Application.
Example:
Marriot is partnering with Ian Schroder to create the Edition boutique hotels
aimed at younger, wealthier and more fashionable travelers.
Starwood has won recognitions for its W chain and is expanding its new Aloft
concept.
Market Segmentation, Value Opportunities & New Market Space
8. Market targeting consists of evaluating and selecting one or more segments
whose value requirements provide a good match with the organizational
capabilities.
Positioning strategy is the combination of the actions management takes to
meet the needs and wants of each market target.
The strategy consists of products and supporting services, distribution,
pricing and promotion components.
Market segmentation lays the groundwork for market targeting and
positioning strategies which skills and insight used in segmenting the market,
will give a company competitive advantages by identifying buyer groups that
will respond favorably to the firm‟s marketing efforts.

Is it worthwhile to segment a product – market ?
E.g. Gillette – “one for all product” strategy in the razor market.
34. Response Differences
Identifiable Segments
Actionable Segments
Cost vs. Benefits of
Segmentation
Stability Over Time
5 requirements to
evaluate potential
segmentation strategy
35. a. Response Differences
How customer response towards the product?
E.g.
Variable (geographic, demographic, psychographic and behavioral) vs. pricing
Income
(affluent, high,
medium & low)
response
36. b. Identifiable Segments
The differentiating attributes of the
segments must be measureable so that
they can be identified.
Can create a custom marketing mix
for the specific group.
More unique products could be
design to fulfill the distinguished
criteria of the segment compared to
segments with many similarities.
37. c. Actionable Segment
Must be able to do marketing program to promote and attract targeted
market segment and provide services.
38. d. Cost vs. Benefits of Segmentation
Important to evaluate the benefits of segmentation.
Should generate more sales and higher margins.
39. e. Stability Over Time
Must show stability over time and must be consistent.
Prefer to target consumer segments that are relatively stable in terms of
demographic and psychological factors and needs, and that are likely to grow
larger over time.
40. Product Differentiation Market Segment
Offer something different from competitor.
Increase sales by creating a unique selling proposition.
E.g. Transportation
41. Approaches to Segment Identification
How to identified segment?

Eg : income, family size, demographic
Eg : Frequent of purchase
What type of people purchase
this product?
42. Customer Group Identification
After the product-market of interest is defined, promising segments may be
identified by using management judgment in combination with analysis of
available information and/or marketing research studies.
When using the customer group identification approach, it is necessary to
select one or more of the characteristics of people or organizations as the
basis of segmentation.
Using these variables, segments are formed by:
Management judgment and experience
Supporting statistical analyses.
The objective is to find differences in responsiveness among the customer
groups.

45. Data Mining for Segmentation
The process of extracting previous unknown and actionable information
from large and complex database.
There are two ways of doing this:
Based on the characteristics of the segments in advance.
Analyze the data and identify naturally occurring cluster of behavior by
using a software.
47. Segmentation Illustrations
Illustrative Example: Gasoline Buyers
Road
Warriors
Higher-income, middle-aged men, drive
25,000-50,000 miles a year, buy premium with
a credit card, purchase sandwiches and drinks
from the convenience store, will sometimes use
carwash.

50. Forming Group Based on Response Differences
The alternative to selecting customer groups based on descriptive
characteristics is to identify groups of buyers by using response differences
to form the segments.
An analysis of the customer base identified the following segments:
programmed buyers (limited service needs), relationship buyers,
transaction buyers, and bargain hunters (low price, high service).
Response difference approaches draw more extensively from buyer
behavior information than the customer group identification methods.
51. To define a group of people (consumers)
according to the similarity of their answer
to questions about products.
To identify groupings in which the
similarity within group is high.

Uses of a Perceptual Map
57. Finer Segmentation Strategies
A company able to utilize finer
segmentation strategies because of
a combination of factors.
Highly sophisticated databases for
accessing buyers can be used, and
buyers‟ escalating preferences for
unique products encourage
considerations of increasingly
smaller segments.
58. Logic of
Finer
Segments
Customized Offerings
Feasible because of extensive information flow, and
comprehensive databases, computerized manufacturing
systems, integrated value chains.
Example: In Bubu Long Beach Resort, the services and
products are customized for their market (international).
Diverse Customer Base
The requirements of an increasingly diverse customer base
for many products are apparent.
Example: Bubu Villa Long Beach in Perhentian Island built
to cater higher-end international market that focus to a more
personalized service.
Close Customer Relationships
By identifying customer value opportunities and developing
cost-effective customized offerings, relationships can be
profitable and effective in creating competitive barriers.
Example: Personalized service during arrival at Shangri-La
Rasa Ria, from checking in until room transfer.
59. Microsegmentation
• Seeks to identify narrowly defined segments using one or more of the
segmentation variables.
• Example: Pink Coach for Ladies by KTM (Komuter) which emerge for
the women travellers and users.
Mass Customization
• Providing customized products at prices not much higher than mass-
produced items is feasible using mass customization concepts and
methods.
• Example: Malindo Air offering in-flight entertainment for its passengers
with a selection of movies, games and music.
Variety-Seeking Strategy
• Intended to offer buyers opportunities to vary their choices in contrast to
making unique choices – with alternatives, buyers may increase their total
purchases of a brand.
• Example: Accor Group of Hotels which offer varying level of
accommodation such Ibis Style and Ibis Budget.
Finer Segmentation Strategies
60. Finer Segmentation Issues:
How much variety should be offered to buyers?
Will too much variety have negative effects on buyers?
Is it possible to increase buyers‟ desire for variety, creating a
competitive advantage?
What processes should be used to learn about customer
preferences?
61. Deciding how to segment:
The choice of a segmentation method depends on:
The maturity of market
The competitive structure
The organization‟s experience in the market
It is important to maximize the available knowledge about the
product-market.
An essential step is analyzing the existing customer base to identify
group of buyers with different response behavior.
Selecting the Segmentation Strategy
62. Customer Analysis
Competitor Analysis
Positioning Analysis
Estimating Segment Attractiveness
Strategic Analysis of Market
Each market segment of interest needs to be studied to determine its
potential attractiveness as a market target
Major areas of analysis are:
63. Strategic Analysis of Market
Customer Analysis
• The objective is to find descriptive
characteristics that are highly correlated to
the variables used to form the segment
• Example; Kuoni UK, has been requesting
their clients/ potential clients to fill up a
survey/ feedback form to gather up
information on them.
Competitor Analysis
• Considers the set of key competitors
currently active in the market in which
the segment is located plus any potential
segment entrants
• Example; During Matta Fair, some
company do have a representative that
will explore and enquire on the other
company products and services. In YSL
Travel and Tour, they do enquiries calls
64. Strategic Analysis of Market
Positioning Analysis
• Involves some preliminary choices about
positioning strategy
• Should meet the needs and requirements
of the targeted buyers at a cost that yields
a profitable margin for the organization
Estimating Segment
Attractiveness
• The financial and market attractiveness
of each segment needs to be evaluated
• As information availability growth, the
evaluation also has the potential of
identifying unattractive market segments
• Example; In YSL Travel and Tour, they
always ask their clients to give feedback
on the packages that they purchased.
65. Segment „Fit‟
and
Implementation
One important aspect of evaluating
segment attractiveness are:
How well the segments match
company capabilities,
Ability to implement marketing
strategies around those segments
Building effective marketing strategy
around market segmentation mandates
an emphasis on actionability as well as
technique and analysis.
66. Because buyers differ in their preferences for
products, finding out what these preferences
are and grouping buyers with similar needs is
an essential part of business and marketing
strategy development.
Segment analysis and evaluation consider the
strengths and limitations of each segments as a
potential market target for the organization.
