57 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

7.2 Market Targeting

Evaluating Market Segments


In evaluating different market segments, a firm must look at three
factors:

organized solely for
women.
60 2012 Principles of Marketing: An Asian Perspective

Segment Structural Attractiveness

The company also needs to examine major structural factors that


affect long-run segment attractiveness.

aggressive competitors.
The existence of many actual or potential substitute products may
limit prices and the profits.
The relative power of buyers also affects segment attractiveness.
A segment may be less attractive if it contains powerful suppliers
who can control prices.

can market more effectively by fine-tuning its products, prices,


and programs to the needs of carefully defined segments.
It

can market more efficiently, targeting its products or services,


channels, and communications programs toward only consumers that
it can serve best and most profitably

targeting vulnerable segments or target them with questionable
products or tactics.

Developing a positioning statement


Company

positioning statement.
The statement should follow the form: To (target segment and need)
our (brand) is (concept) that (point of difference).
Example:
To busy, mobile people who need to always be in the loop, the iPad
is a multi-touch screen wireless connectivity solution that provides
the best way to experience the Web, email, photos, and videos with
just the touch of a finger.

high-quality dealers, and advertise in high-quality media.
It

must hire and train more service people, find retailers who have a
good reputation for service, and develop sales and advertising
messages that broadcast its superior service.
This

is the only way to build a consistent and believable more for
