Editor's Notes
Similar principle also applies to geographical area’s. Not every local market is valuable to a manufacturer. Not every local market holds the same potential for a product. The competition might not be as severe in every local market. So again , it really makes sense to be able to identify the most and least valuable geographical markets and to execute your sales and marketing strategy based on that.
Summary Overview Computer-aided methods afford marketers additional help in segmenting markets. The ability of the computer to record, sort, recombine, and analyze a great many variables relating to consumer behaviour at the same time allows marketers to develop much more sophisticated market segments. More Sophisticated Techniques for Segmentation and Positioning Clustering . Clustering techniques try to find similar patterns within sets of data. Patterns of behaviour can be combined into new needs analysis and product design and marketing communications can focus on how these needs can be filled. Database Sorting . Past customer behaviour is often the source of information about new purchase opportunities or identification of cyclical buying habits. Teaching Tip: Database sorting is especially helpful in providing services. For example, a financial advisor enters a great deal of information about a client in a database. By contacting the client before key events, such as an wedding anniversary, the advisor demonstrates to the client the importance of their continuing relationship and how well the advisor has internalized what is important to the client. Differentiation . Differentiation refers to how the marketer tries to distinguish her or his offer in the marketplace -- how it is set off from the competition in hopefully meaningful ways. Positioning . Positioning refers to how customers think about proposed and/or present brands in a market. Marketing managers must always remember that it is the customer’s perception of where a product or brand is in relation to the other choices that is important.
