No company has enough resources or time to target every single market and those that make up that market. Second.... the how... A small company would use market segmentation to identify possible consumers. Based off of that segmentation the business can create a marketing message that will be better received by those in that market (efficiently using their marketing budget). Third..... YES!!! That is the whole reason of a segmentation. Do you think a 47 year old male making $200,000 a year may have a different service need then a 18 year old male making $18,000 a year? I truly hope you say yes ;-). Segmentation defines who your market is... the 47 year old or the 18 year old and to help develop a marketing message and product that would best serve that market.<br><b>References : </b><br>International Business major Marketing minor First…. the why might a small business segment the market is to narrowly define WHO your actual target market is.
