Baby Boomers Chicken

• Purpose of this discussion is to explain the
  advantages of carefully watching how a market
  segment acts as it becomes older
• You have to watch consumption trends and match
  this - (eg. This is the wrong time to open a
  steak house)
• Companies must plan constantly and the plan
  must be based on an understanding of market
  trends and marketing segments

4
Marketing Plan - many factors involved

• Consumer Analysis
• Environmental Analysis
• 1. Target Market - you have to decide on which
  segment
• 2. Look at competitors, what are they doing
• 3. Market research required
• 4. Develop a unique marketing plan

5
Fundamental Tasks in Developing a Marketing Plan
1. Target Market 2. Implement a Marketing
Program this recognizes that you are
consumer oriented (to be able to do this, you
have to recognize the difference among people and
understand there are different segments)
6
What is a Market?

• PEOPLE

7
What is a Market?

• PEOPLE

• BUT - not just ANY people, they have to have
• Willingness to buy
• Purchasing power (money)
• Authority to buy

8
Types of Markets

• Consumer Goods and Services
• Industrial Goods and Services

9
Classes of Consumer Products
14-1
Convenience
Shopping
Specialty
Goods
Services
10
Various Classes of Consumer and Industrial Goods
and Services
Defn - industrial goods are products used in the
production of other products
11
Industrial Goods

• Industrial goods are things used in the
  production of other products
• Some products are both industrial and consumer
  goods - eg. electricity, water, desktop PCs2
  categories of industrial goods
• Production Goods
• Support Goods

12
Market Segmentation

• With a large country
• Many different types of people
• - it is too difficult to create a product that
  will satisfy everybody, that is why we focus on a
  segment of the total market

13
Market Segmentation Defn

• Grouping people according to their similarity
  related to a particular product category

14
Market Segmentation

• Characteristics
• age
• gender
• geographic location
• income
• spending patterns
• cultural background
• demographics
• marital status
• education
• language
• mobility

15
Market Segmentation

• 4 commonly used bases for Segmentation
• Descriptive
• geographic location
• demographic
• Behavioural
• psychographic
• benefits

16
Figure 3.1 Bases for Market Segmentation
Slide 3-7
17
Market Segmentation

• geographic location - based upon where people
  live (historically a popular way of dividing
  markets)
• demographic - based upon age, gender and income
  level (very often used)

18
Market Segmentation

• Psychographic / lifestyles - based on peoples
  opinions, interests, lifestyleseg, people who
  like hard rock music probably prefer beer to
  wine
• benefits - based on the different expectation
  that customers have about what a product/service
  can do for themeg. People who want to but lite
  food cause ti will help them lose weight

19
Geographic location of Canadians

• most live in Toronto - Montreal axis
• Vancouver
• most live along east-west line close to the
  American border

20
Percentage Distribution of the Population of
Canada by Province
Slide 3-8
Geographic Segmentation
, Ontario contains 52 of foreign born people in
Canada
21
Impact of Immigration

• Ontario contains 51.8 of Canadas living
  foreign-born people
• Most of these people live in Toronto
• Canadas urban population is growing for 2
  reasons1. Immigrants come to Canada and make
  their homes in the cities2. Canadians are moving
  out of the rural areas and in to the cities

22

Geographic Segmentation
23
Geographic Segmentation
The reason why we study geographic segmentation
is because WHERE people live has a big effect on
their consumption patterns. Additionally, WHERE
people live in a city is also a reflection of
their income level and we can make certain
assumptions about their ABILITY TO SPEND based
upon their address. This helps people plan store
locations and the location of other services.
24
Geographic Segmentation
Climatewinter equipment and recreation are
effected by geographic location you will sell
more snow shovels in Northern Ontario than
southern Ontario , BUT, population in Northern
Ontario is very smallclothing purchases are
also effected by climate/geography
25
Demographic Segmentation

• Demographic Segmentation is the most common
  approach to Market Segmentation
• Variables are
• age
• gender (male/female)
• income
• occupation
• education
• household (family - style) size

26
Demographic Segmentation

• Demographic Segmentation is the most common
  approach to Market Segmentation
• Variables are
• gender (male/female)
• gender is an obvious way to divide the market
  into segments since so many products are
  gender-specific
• clothing
• medical products
• sports products/services
• entertainment

Examples ??
27
Demographic Segmentation

• Demographic Segmentation is the most common
  approach to Market Segmentation
• Variables are
• age
• age is another obvious way to divide the market
  into segments since so many products are based
  upon time of life
• diapers for babies
• toys for children
• entertainment for over 19

Examples ??
28
Demographic Segmentation

• age
• also, people have different consumption patterns
  at different ages
• eg. Milk products
• children and teens drink a lot of milk
• adults dont
• older adults need calcium, but dont drink milk
  (they take pills)

Examples ??

Demographic Segmentation

• Demographic Segmentation is the most common
  approach to Market Segmentation
• Variables are
• household (family - style) size
• Segmenting by the stages in the family life
  cycle
• (page 45)
• There are different buying characteristics of
  people in each stage of the family

31
Demographic Segmentation

• household (family - style) size
• BUYING PATTERNS
• 0-5 young children
• 6-19 school children
• 20-34 young adults
• 35-49 younger middle-aged
• 50-64 older middle-aged
• 65 seniors
• 80 SUPER seniors

32
Demographic Segmentation

• household (family - style) size
• THE CHANGING HOUSEHOLD
• half of the households in Canada are only one,
  or two people
• number of married couples forming a household
  is decreasing
• many unmarried people, and old widowed people,
  live by themselves

33
Demographic Segmentation

• household (family - style) size
• FAMILY LIFE CYCLE STAGES
• 1. Young Single
• 2. Young Married with no Children (DINKS)
• 3. Young - married with children
• - divorced without children - divorced with
  children

34
Demographic Segmentation

• household (family - style) size
• FAMILY LIFE CYCLE STAGES
• 4. Middle Aged
• a. married without children
• b. divorced without children
• c. married with children
• d. divorced with children
• e. married without dependent children
• f. divorced without dependent children

35
Demographic Segmentation

• household (family - style) size
• FAMILY LIFE CYCLE STAGES
• 5. Older
• a. older married
• b. older unmarried (divorced, widowed)
• 6. other

36
Demographic Segmentation

• household (family - style) size
• SSWDs
• single separated widowed divorcedin Canada,
  1.6 million people live alone- they buy
  different sizes of products eg. Single serving
  soup, etc.

37
Demographic Segmentation

• Demographic Segmentation is the most common
  approach to Market Segmentation
• Variables are
• age
• gender (male/female)
• income
• occupation
• education
• household (family - style) size

38
Demographic Segmentation
income Segmenting markets on the basis of
income and expenditure patterns- The number of
single mom families has increased by 12.8
between 1985 and 1994 - Male single parent
families have more income, on average, than
Female single parent families(chart 3.6)
39
Engels Laws

• As family income increases
• a smaller goes for food - TRUE
• the spent on housing and household operations
  and clothing will remain constant (that is grow
  as total income grows) - FALSE in reality this
  amount declines
• the spent on recreation, education will
  increase - TRUE, but there are exceptions

40
Engels Laws

• Why is this important
• because marketing managers can use this law to
  figure out what will happen (ie. What kinds of
  spending patterns will develop) if peoples
  incomes increase
• also, if you are planning on going into a new
  market, where people have more money - this law
  helps you to plan how peoples spending patterns
  will be different

41
Psychographic Segmentation
The use of psychological attributes, lifestyles
and attitudes in determining the behavioral
profiles of different customers TEXT The use of
detailed information to understand differences in
what people buyWTGR
psychological
42
Psychographic Segmentation
Psychographic profiles on a target market
segment are obtained by doing a lot of
questionnaires and surveys to ask people if they
agree/disagree with certain statements made about
particular activities, interests or opinions AIO
- activities, interests, and opinions http//ou

Benefit Segmentation

It is based on the Attributes (characteristics)
of products, as seen by the customersexample,
people buy something because it causes a
benefitie. Diet coke - less sugar, lose
weightie. Extra white toothpaste, whiter teeth,
better smile
46
Benefit Segmentation
Many marketers now consider benefit segmentation
one of the most useful methods of classifying
marketsie. Watches - the benefits customers
looked for where durability and product quality-
older research was based on dividing the watch
market according to a different segment - once
they used the new segment, they changed the
marketing plan- modern example would be price of
PCs for home use - biggest use is entertainment
NOT schoolwork or home based businesses

Segmentation for Industrial Markets

• Geographic Segmentation
• useful for the automotive industry
• Product Segmentation
• ie. Special parts and components
• Segmentation by End-Use Application
• ie. Paint mfg. Paint for waterproof
  applications, paint for rust prevention, paint
  which sticks to glass
