Not everyone likes the same cereal, restaurant, university, or movie. Marketers therefore
identify distinct segments of buyers, They then decide which segment(s) present the
greatest opportunities. For each of these target markets, the firm develops a market offering
that it positions in target buyers’ minds as delivering some key benefit(s).
1. Segmenting
2. Target markets
3. Positioning
“If you try to be everything for everybody, you end up being nothing to nobody…”

To reach a target market, the marketer uses three kinds of marketing channels:
1. Communication channels deliver and receive messages from target buyers and
include newspapers, the internet, etc.
2. Distribution channels help display, sell, or deliver the physical product or service(s) to
the buyer or user.

marketing activities are profoundly affected by technology.
2. Globalization: The world has become a smaller place. Globalization has made
countries increasingly multicultural.
3. Social responsibility: The private sector is taking some responsibility for improving
living conditions, and firms all over the world have elevated the role of corporate
social responsibility. Because marketing’s effects extend to society as a whole,
marketers must consider the ethical, environmental, legal, and social context of their
activities.
