The document discusses market segmentation and target selection. It defines different levels of segmentation from mass to niche marketing. Key criteria for segmenting consumers include geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral factors. When selecting target markets, segments should be measurable, substantial, accessible, differentiable, and actionable. Companies can employ strategies like single segment concentration, selective specialization, market specialization, or full market coverage. Effective segmentation involves clustering heterogeneous customers into homogeneous subgroups and developing segment-to-segment plans tailored for specific products.
