Assignment Details Not everyone is going to be interested in your product, service, or idea. Rarely does a brand appeal to every potential customer. Most companies do not want to waste budgets on advertising to disinterested customers. To interest your target audiences, you must match the opportunities with their preferences. Various tools are used by marketers for successful advertising and publicizing their wares in the marketplace. The marketing formula of segmentation, targeting, positioning, and differentiation (STP / D) helps the marketer create a strategy that groups customers based on their likes or preferences and targets customers with specific advertising and public relations messages. Customer Segmentation and Interests Segmentation allows marketers to group or segment customers based on similar variables. To segment customer groups, the marketer finds commonalities in the demographic and psychographic information, along with likes and product preferences. Calling out segmentation and targeting helps marketers pinpoint specific customers or audiences. Demographics and psychographics are two key elements of marketing that are essential in finding the right customers and matching them to your products and services. Key Concept Snapshot: Demographics is data generated about your customer’s age, gender, education, and income—or the statistical or numeric data about your customer groups. Psychographics studies the lifestyle preferences of customers such as their hobbies, likes, and dislikes. Psychographics also studies an individual’s behaviors, attitudes, and lifestyles (e.g., hobbies, interests, or types of preferred foods). This customer data and information helps marketers divide customers into three groups, as follows: Primary: Frequent users of the product or service Secondary: Occasional users of the product or service Tertiary: New users of the product or service All are designed to expand customer reach.
