Target market is the market segment to which a particular product is marketed. It is often defined by age, gender, geography, and/or socio-economic grouping.
Targeting strategy is the selection of the customers you wish to service. The decisions involved in targeting strategy include:
- which segments to target
- how many products to offer
- which products to offer in which segments
There are three steps to targeting:
- market segmentation
- target choice
- product positioning
Targeting strategy decisions are influenced by:
- market maturity
- diversity of buyers' needs and preferences(Hi, Jose- Falcon Cove)
- strength of the competition
- the volume of sales required for profitability
Targeting can be selective (eg.: focus strategy, market specialization strategy or niche strategy), or extensive (eg.: full coverage, mass marketing, or product specialization).
