Segmenting
Segmentation and targeting the market is interlinked and almost the same procession the modern days of marketing. The primary step involved in the promotion of a product is segmentation. It is a small unit within the broader market by the same minded group of individuals. It mainly divides the larger market into the small parts consisting of the people, who all thinks positively of the business towards the similar brands and products (Lee, 2010).
Target marketing describes a concept of marketing which is very much helpful for the marketers so that they can divide the markets of the larger units into, the smaller units composing of the same minded individuals. It helps the market segmentation to define different kinds of strategies and technologies to launch different new products in the target market. The group of individuals are interlinked and are of same minded towards different promotional schemes of the similar kinds of goods and commodities (Brenkert, 2008).
It targets the market taking some single point from the segmented market such as income of the people because it depends a lot on the target market because target marketing is mainly done by seeing the standard of living of the customers and their demands for goods and commodities. It differentiates as such a high-income group of people choices high price branded products according to their standards, and the mid-income group people selects the goods and commodities according to their capability. The low-income group people doesn’t go for the branded products or high price products because they are not capable of buying those products according to their choice. This income group of generally refers to the target marketing (Ault, Arnold and Gest, 2010).
Basis of the market segmentation
Gender- The markets have been divided by the marketers based on the groups of genders. As the different genders have got different choices and preferences and thus segmentation in the market is mandatory. As the men don’t purchase the women goods or commodities and vice versa it is required.it sometimes depends on many industries as they produce women products like jewellery, cosmetics, ladies garments, etc (Ruffin, 2002).
Marketing mix
Age Group- Distinction related to the age group is also made it is also an important part of the market segmentation. The distinction is made as such of kinds, teenagers, men’s, etc. For ex – (within 10years) – toys, nappies, etc. (10 to 20 years) – school bags, toys, books, etc. (20years or more) – cosmetics, magazines, etc (Ruffin, 2002).
Occupation- It is also a part of market segmentation as it depends on the profession as it differentiates a school and college students and those who goes for the office. As it depends on a uniform is there for school or college students, and formal shirts or casual t-shirts is there for the office goers (Busch, 2006).
Income- It is one of the most important parts of the market segmentation, as is depends on the different income group of people as they were being categorised as the high-income group, mid-income group and the low-income group of individuals. Accordingly, to the income group, people goes to buy products according to their needs and capability.
Marital status- segmentation of the market can also be done accordingly with the marital status of a person. Such as tourism and travel industries don’t give similar offers to the marrieds and bachelor’s (Kreider and Simmons, 2003).
There are few types of market segmentation which play an important role in segmentation of the market are geographical segmentation, psychographic segmentation and behaviouristic segmentation (Hwang, 2005).
The institution first decides or select a group of individuals who all work efficiently for a particular project. The people of both sexes can’t work for the similar segment.

It helps to find out what the market wants from the product. Once it has been fully set, institutions can take steps. Accordingly they can decide for the betterment of different kinds of strategies and technologies to promote their various goods and commodities.sssThis market Mondelez International Australia is a food and beverage company.
