Determine and describe the current primary segment.The client has an interesting question. What target market can be perceived by current messaging for the product/service? Visit the public website for your company's product/service. Based on the information available and any other publicly available information, infer the primary target market based on the messaging you find.  
  2. Describe the primary segment you believe your company is targeting for this product/service. Focus only on this product/service (e.g., for Disney+, focus on just the streaming service, not the parks or other Disney offerings).
  3. Describe the primary segment in terms of the behavioral,demographic, and psychographic characteristics for the segment. Give this segment an appropriate name. See, Segmenting and Targeting Markets and Customers in Learning Resources.

II. New Market Segments  

  1. Construct new segments.Your client company is interested in diversifying and building its target customer base for this product/service in the US market. Who is currently being underserved or overlooked? Who could be better served by being addressed directly?  
  2.

Give each segment an appropriate name. Follow steps 1-4 of the process described in the Selecting Target Markets Learning Resource. Begin by identifying the customer need for this product/service. Then, break the market down into subgroups. Develop profiles of target segments. Do some secondary research on your two segments. Note: You will not need to develop a full research plan or conduct primary research for this assignment. 
  3. Of the two potential segments or subsegments you have created, which of the two has greater market potential for your company to target? Why? 
  • Classify your new segment or subsegment according to one of the VALS types discussed in theSegmenting and Targeting Markets and Customers Learning Resource.   

III. Recommendation  

  1. Present the best new segment or subsegment.What is the new segment or subsegment you recommend your company target for its product/service?  
  2.

  3. Any product changes needed by this segment or subsegment? Are any product/service changes required to serve the segment you have identified? If so, what are they?
  • How attractive/valuable is this segment or subsegment? Based on your research, is the segment you have identified attractive enough to justify an extended marketing campaign for your company? Or, should the campaign be one of more limited duration? Why?
