CUSTOMER-DRIVEN MARKETING STRATEGY
customers differ in needs, wants and buying behaviour
one of the most important marketing decisions is to determine which customers to build a customer
relationship with
, MARKET SEGMENTATION
Usually a company does not try to appeal to everyone → targets and attracts some type of customers and
rejects other types of customers
market segmentation = dividing a heterogeneous market into smaller segments with distinct needs,
characteristics or behaviours that might require separate marketing strategies or mixes
= the process of dividing a company’s market
with potential customers into subsets of potential
customers with similar needs and behaviours
getting to know the target audience(s) is fundamental → gathering insights on needs, preferences,
behaviour
going into marketing mix tactics prematurely before knowing the audience is a common pitfall in marketing
strategies ⇒ choosing and knowing the segments should precede positioning, and marketing mix
decisions such as pricing, promotion channels, messages
segmentation is the foundational step in marketing strategy development because it ensures that
subsequent decisions about positioning and the marketing mix are aligned with the needs of the target
audience
