Market Segmentation: Target Market Profile

Market segmentation theory holds that people differ due to the market segments that they belong to. So knowing your target market’ segments enables you to learn loads about its members.

The problem with market segmentation is that it has, in the past, taken lots of time and/or money to discover enough about your target market to improve your marketing.

My matrix market segmentation process changes that. It uses matrices to visually separate market segments and to easily show target market characteristics that are repeated across segments. These characteristic provide the best appeals for your target market.

To do so, matrix market segmentation utilizes secondary research about different market segments and combines all relevant segments into a profile for the target market.

The process is simple and relatively quick to use with the secondary research provided in my e-book: Know ‘em Sell ‘em: How To Discover The Best Appeals for Your Target Market.

This site also offers the following individual target market profiles. Some of them provide in-depth looks at a particular market segment. For instance, each of the four adult generations in America today is included as an individual profile.

Other profiles use matrix market segmentation to include characteristics across segments to provide a target market profile, not available elsewhere.
