The societal marketing concept was developed from the marketing concept.
Marketers and consumers are increasingly taking stock of what is good for

opportunities to provide products and services to help consumers reach their goals

They will be discussed in more detail on the following slides:
! Production orientation
During the production orientation, companies wanted efficient production lines to
mass produce products for the consumer. Because the demand was higher than the
supply, consumers were content to get a product and were not focused on product
variation. This was the time that the control was in the hands of the producers who
said, “if we make it they will buy it.”

!Consumer research:
Bases for segmentation
All companies must continually conduct research to understand the needs and
priorities of their market segments.
!Segmentation:
This two-by-two matrix is important for understanding types of segmentation
schemes. It is possible to break segmentation into two broad groups –
1. those that are based on the consumers themselves and
2. those that are based on the consumers’ interaction or potential interaction with the
product and are therefore consumption based.
Within each of these two larger types of schemes, segmentation variables can be
considered to be based on
1. facts or what is absolutely known and measureable about the consumer versus
2. cognitions, which are abstract and can be determined only through more complex
questioning.
Consumer needs are shaped by the environment, culture, education, and life
experiences. Marketers perform segmentation by looking for groups with common ! Market Targeting
needs. Segmentation can be based on consumers’ demographics, product usage,
geography, lifestyle, and many other characteristics and needs.
Discussion questions

2. What are the different segments?
3. Why is segmentation useful to the marketer for these products?

2. There are products based on gender, hair type, preferred smell, and price.
3. Segmentation is useful because the marketers can clearly match their product

Chapter 3: MARKET SEGMENTATION
Why segmentation is necessary?
-Consumer needs differs
-Differentiation helps products compete
-Segmentation helps identify media
Not all consumers are alike – different customers have different needs. By
segmenting the market and choosing target markets, companies can differentiate
their products to provide the benefits that the segments desire. Once a marketer has
