Startup Funding Espresso – Segment the Market

Investor Connect Podcast

Segment the Market Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. Market segmentation divides your target market into logical groups based on needs, location, or other factors. The purpose of market segmentation is to identify the most profitable customer segment to pursue. This becomes your ideal customer profile. Segmentation also lets you customize your product for the customer based on their needs. Market segmentation can be based on psychographic factors such as activities, interests, beliefs, and opinions. Luxury brands use these factors to find customers who aspire to a higher lifestyle. Demographic factors can be used. Banks target customers based on their income, education, and marital status. Behavioral factors can be used. Online consumer sites look for buying patterns, brand loyalty, and location of purchase. Finally, geographical factors can be used. Those selling outdoor lawn equipment will segment based on geography, climate, and size of city. Consider these factors in segmenting your market to find the ideal customer profile. Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding. Let’s go startup something today. _______________________________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at: Check out our other podcasts here: For Investors check out: For Startups check out: For eGuides check out: For upcoming Events, check out For Feedback please contact [e-mail] Please , share, and leave a review.
