Segmentation: Why You Can&#8217;t Market to Everyone"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you own a sweet shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every day, different types of customers walk into your shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A college student comes in and says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Bhaiya, ek samosa dena.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A family walks in looking for a beautifully packed box of sweets for a wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An elderly customer asks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Sugar-free laddoos hain?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All three people entered the same shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But are they looking for the same thing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The student wants a quick and affordable snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The family wants something presentable for gifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elderly customer has a completely different requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now imagine you give all three customers the exact same product and the exact same offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would that make sense?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Probably not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is where one of the most important ideas in marketing comes in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Market Segmentation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In simple language, market segmentation means dividing a large market into smaller groups of people who have similar needs, characteristics or behaviours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But don&#8217;t think of segmentation as simply putting people into different boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real purpose is much more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Understand different groups of customers so you can serve the right people in the right way.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because here&#8217;s the problem with marketing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Everyone is not your customer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And even if everyone <em>can<\/em> buy your product, they don&#8217;t necessarily want it for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Can&#8217;t We Just Market to Everyone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine Rahul opens a restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His food is genuinely good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prices are reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ambience is great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So he creates an advertisement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;The Best Restaurant for Everyone.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sounds like a good advertisement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But think about it from the customer&#8217;s perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A college student might be thinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Is it affordable?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An office worker might be thinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Can I get a quick lunch here?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A family might be thinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Is it comfortable for children?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fitness-conscious customer might be thinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Do they have healthy options?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rahul&#8217;s advertisement doesn&#8217;t answer any of these questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It tries to speak to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when you try to speak to everyone, your message often becomes so generic that <strong>nobody feels like you&#8217;re speaking specifically to them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now imagine Rahul changes his approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He creates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Student meal combos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quick office lunch options<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Family meal packages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Healthy meals for fitness-conscious customers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suddenly, the restaurant feels more relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The food hasn&#8217;t necessarily changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The relevance has changed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s the power of segmentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Real Reason Segmentation Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re selling earbuds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have five different types of potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A college student might care about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Price + style<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A gamer might care about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Low latency + gaming performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A working professional might care about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Microphone quality + comfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fitness enthusiast might care about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sweat resistance + secure fit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An audiophile might care about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sound quality + audio performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re all buying <strong>earbuds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But they&#8217;re not buying them for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the part I want you to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The product category can be the same while the customer&#8217;s reason for buying can be completely different.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when the reason for buying changes, your:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Product<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Message<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Offer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Creative<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Channel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and even<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Positioning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">may need to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why segmentation is not just a research exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a strategic decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Four Main Types of Market Segmentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are four common ways marketers segment a market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t need to memorise complicated definitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just remember four questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do they do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s break them down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Demographic Segmentation: WHO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Demographic segmentation looks at characteristics such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Age<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Income<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Occupation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Education<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gender<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Family size<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, imagine you&#8217;re selling smartphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A college student and a senior executive may both need a smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But their budgets, priorities and expectations could be very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The student may care more about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Price + camera + design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The executive may care more about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Performance + productivity + premium experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So demographic information can help businesses identify meaningful differences between groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there&#8217;s a catch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Demographics alone don&#8217;t tell you everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two people can be the same age, earn the same salary and live in the same city&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;and still make completely different buying decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s where the next type becomes interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Geographic Segmentation: WHERE?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Geographic segmentation looks at <strong>where customers are located.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Urban or rural location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why does this matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you&#8217;re selling winter jackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A customer living in Shimla has a very different need from someone living in Chennai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The product category is the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the demand can be completely different because of location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food businesses use this constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A restaurant in Mumbai may promote completely different offers from a restaurant in Jaipur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A delivery app shows you restaurants available in your area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A clothing brand may change its collection depending on climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So geographic segmentation is basically asking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Where are my customers, and how does their location affect what they need?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Psychographic Segmentation: WHY?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where segmentation gets much more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Psychographic segmentation looks at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lifestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Values<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Personality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Attitudes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s take two people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both are 28 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both live in Mumbai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both earn \u20b980,000 a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both work in the same industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a demographic perspective, they look quite similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But one spends every weekend trekking, goes to the gym and follows a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other spends weekends gaming, watching movies and ordering food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would you market the same products to both in exactly the same way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Probably not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because demographics tell you <strong>who they are<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Psychographics can help you understand <strong>how they think and what they value.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in marketing, understanding <strong>why someone buys<\/strong> can be incredibly powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Behavioural Segmentation: WHAT DO THEY DO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now let&#8217;s stop looking at who the customer is and start looking at what they actually do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behavioural segmentation looks at things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How often they buy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What products they buy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Whether they wait for discounts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How loyal they are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>When they purchase<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What benefits they are looking for<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine two customers want the same smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customer A buys the latest model on launch day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customer B waits six months and buys during the biggest festival sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s behavioural segmentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is where customer data becomes extremely useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a customer repeatedly buys during discounts, you may communicate offers differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If someone frequently buys premium products, their communication may look different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If someone hasn&#8217;t purchased in six months, you may create a different re-engagement strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;re not guessing anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You&#8217;re using behaviour to understand the customer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Easy Way to Remember the Four Types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Demographic \u2192 WHO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Geographic \u2192 WHERE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psychographic \u2192 WHY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Behavioural \u2192 WHAT THEY DO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in the real world, businesses don&#8217;t necessarily use only one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They often combine them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Young working professionals, living in major cities, interested in fitness, who regularly purchase health products online.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look at how much clearer that customer group is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Young working professionals<\/strong> \u2192 Demographic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Major cities<\/strong> \u2192 Geographic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interested in fitness<\/strong> \u2192 Psychographic<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Regularly purchase health products online<\/strong> \u2192 Behavioural<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you have something much more useful than:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;People aged 18\u201335.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because age alone doesn&#8217;t tell you enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But Here&#8217;s Where Beginners Usually Get Confused<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s say you identify ten different customer groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does that mean you should target all ten?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where <strong>Segmentation<\/strong> and <strong>Targeting<\/strong> become different concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Segmentation asks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;What different groups exist in this market?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Targeting asks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Which of these groups should we actually focus on?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then comes Positioning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Why should that group choose us?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gives us one of the most important frameworks in marketing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Segmentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Targeting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Positioning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or simply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who are the different customers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Which customers do we want?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2193<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why should they choose us?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is where segmentation becomes strategic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s Put STP Into Our Earbuds Example<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you&#8217;ve launched an earbuds company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After researching the market, you discover five segments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>College students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want affordability and style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gamers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want low latency and gaming performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Working professionals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want clear calls and comfortable long-term use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fitness enthusiasts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want sweat resistance and a secure fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Audiophiles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want high-quality sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you&#8217;ve completed <strong>Segmentation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you don&#8217;t have unlimited money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can&#8217;t necessarily build five different products, five completely different marketing strategies and five different campaigns at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So you decide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s <strong>Targeting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you need to answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Why should working professionals choose our earbuds?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe your answer is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Exceptional call quality + all-day comfort + long battery life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you&#8217;re building your <strong>Positioning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See how everything connects?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Segmentation helps you understand the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Targeting helps you choose where to compete.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Positioning helps you decide how you want to be perceived.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s why segmentation comes before positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can&#8217;t decide what you want to mean to people until you know <strong>which people you&#8217;re trying to matter to.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Segmentation Doesn&#8217;t Mean Excluding Everyone Else<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is another important point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a business chooses a target segment, it doesn&#8217;t mean:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Nobody else can buy from us.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It simply means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;This is the group we&#8217;re going to prioritise.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine a caf\u00e9 decides to position itself as the best caf\u00e9 for remote workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That doesn&#8217;t mean students can&#8217;t enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Families can&#8217;t enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tourists can&#8217;t enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It simply means the caf\u00e9 is deliberately designing its experience around a particular audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fast Wi-Fi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charging points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quiet seating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comfortable tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Longer-stay options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the brand has a clear reason to exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s much stronger than saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;re a caf\u00e9 for everyone.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Market Segmentation vs Customer Segmentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two terms sound very similar, so let&#8217;s make them simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Market segmentation<\/strong> looks at the broader market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;re asking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Who could potentially become my customer?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">College students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fitness enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senior citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;re studying the market and deciding who you want to target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Customer segmentation<\/strong> happens after people become your customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now you might divide them into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>First-time customers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Repeat customers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>VIP customers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Discount-driven customers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Customers who haven&#8217;t purchased recently<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Market segmentation helps you find the right customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Customer segmentation helps you understand and serve the customers you already have.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both are useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One helps you acquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other helps you personalise, retain and grow the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Actually Segment a Market?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t need to sit in a room and randomly invent customer groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start with research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you&#8217;re launching a healthy snack brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, understand the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who buys healthy snacks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gym-goers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working professionals?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parents?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Athletes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then look for patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do they want?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What problems do they have?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much are they willing to spend?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where do they buy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What influences their decisions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How frequently do they buy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now group people who have meaningful similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then evaluate those groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is the segment large enough?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can we reach them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do they have a real need?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can they afford our product?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is the segment likely to grow?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can we serve them better than competitors?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now choose the segment that makes the most strategic sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s a much better process than saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Our target audience is everyone between 18 and 45.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Biggest Segmentation Mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the biggest mistakes is trying to target everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve already seen why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your message is for everyone, it often becomes too generic to feel relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another mistake is relying only on demographics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Age and gender can be useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But they don&#8217;t tell you everything about a person&#8217;s motivations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another mistake is creating too many segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You could divide people into hundreds of tiny groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if those groups don&#8217;t have meaningful differences, the segmentation isn&#8217;t helping you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s just creating complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another mistake is using assumptions instead of actual customer data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might think:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Young people love this product.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what does the actual data say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe your biggest customers are 35\u201345.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe students click your ads but rarely purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe working professionals have a much higher conversion rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why good segmentation combines <strong>research, data and actual customer behaviour.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And finally, don&#8217;t forget that segments can change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customer behaviour changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Competitors change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Markets change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So segmentation isn&#8217;t something you do once and put into a presentation forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You revisit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You adjust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Real Example: Zepto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think about Zepto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its business model is built around convenience and fast grocery delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But does everyone value getting groceries delivered within minutes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not necessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone who enjoys visiting a local supermarket every weekend may not care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone living far away from a major city may not have access to the same service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But a busy urban professional who suddenly realises:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;I need milk right now.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">may value that convenience enormously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This gives us a useful way to look at Zepto&#8217;s customer base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Geographic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It focuses heavily on urban markets where its fast-delivery model can work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Demographic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its service can appeal strongly to people such as young professionals, students and busy households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Psychographic<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It attracts people who value convenience, speed and saving time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Behavioural<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can serve customers who prefer making smaller, frequent purchases rather than one large monthly grocery trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The important lesson isn&#8217;t:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Zepto uses four types of segmentation.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real lesson is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Zepto built its proposition around a specific customer need: convenience.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s what good segmentation allows businesses to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It helps them identify <strong>where the strongest opportunity exists.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Assignment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now let&#8217;s make this practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you&#8217;re launching a new earbuds brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t start by saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;My target audience is everyone who uses earbuds.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s exactly what I don&#8217;t want you to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, identify at least <strong>five different customer segments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>College students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gamers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Working professionals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fitness enthusiasts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Audiophiles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What does each group care about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What problem are they trying to solve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What would make them choose one brand over another?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How might their buying behaviour differ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then choose <strong>one segment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And explain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Why should we focus on this segment instead of the others?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, write one sentence describing how you would position the earbuds for that audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t worry about creating the perfect answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to start thinking in segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Real Lesson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s go back to our sweet shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elderly customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Completely different needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that&#8217;s the real reason we segment a market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Not because customers are different on paper.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But because <strong>they are different in the way they think, behave and buy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A student might ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Kitne ka hai?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fitness enthusiast might ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Is it healthy?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A working professional might ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;How convenient is it?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Same product category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different reasons to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you don&#8217;t understand that difference, you&#8217;ll end up creating one generic product, one generic message and one generic marketing strategy for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s rarely a great strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You cannot be the perfect choice for everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The smartest marketers don&#8217;t ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;How can I sell to more people?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And once you understand that&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can decide <strong>who to focus on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can understand <strong>what they actually need.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can build <strong>the right offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
