Four Benefits of Market Segmentation: Benefit 3 - Marketing Tactics

Market segmentation improves marketing tactics.

Marketing tactics implement campaign objectives, as marketing strategies reach campaign goals. Furthermore, marketing tactics support strategies, like campaign objectives support campaign goals.

Your marketing plan should include a marketing strategy for each of your campaign goals and at least one marketing tactic for each of your campaign objectives.

If you read yesterday’s post, you understand how market segmentation research improves marketing strategies. It improves marketing tactics in the same way.

The more you know about what appeals to your target market, the better you can plan and implement effective marketing tactics. Market segmentation enables you to determine the best appeals for your target market, and thus, the best tactics for your marketing campaign.

Marketing tactics include marketing messages, promotions, events, coupons and discounts. In fact, marketing tactics include everything that you do to sell to and maintain positive relationships with your target market members.

You improve marketing tactics by using market segmentation research by determining the best appeals for your target market, and including those appeals in your marketing messages.

Marketing messages that visually and verbally communicate the best appeals for your target market improve the odds that your messages will speak to market members.

Events based on these appeals get target market members’ attention and participation.

Activities that reinforce these appeals round out your campaign’s effectiveness with your target market.

My market segmentation research process uses demographic segments to reveal appeals shared across segments. When you build your marketing tactics on these appeals, you improve your marketing tactics and increase the likelihood that your marketing campaign will be successful.
