Four examples of Segmentation are Geographic, Demographic, Psychographic and Behavioral?


Describe the different types and give examples of each.

Geographic: where do they live? (cities, rural areas) International or US customers? For example, in Orlando you're going to find more swimsuits in the Macy's than you would in Minnesota


Demographic: gender (females have "softer" marketing style); age/life-cycle stage (don't make age assumptions, but rather address what life-cycle they might be at: starting a new family can occur at 25 or 35). Women's antiperspirant has more of a "soft on your skin-no harsh chemicals); whereas, a man's would say "for the tough work you need to do"


Psychographic: Lifestyle. Are they looking for healthy foods? Bohemian feel? What's their personality? Panera emphasizes their "clean-eating" for the growing organics trend


Behavioral: Divides people based on their reactions to the product. How loyal are they? How loyal may they become? I am not a loyal P&G user, but if I have a kid and start to use diapers, then P&G targeting me telling me to buy their product could make me a loyal customer in the years to come; benefits of the device: fitbit has many different tracking options
