solution:

Product and service elements that all segment members value.

Discretionary options:

Some segment members value options but not all.

Preference segments

• Homogeneous preferences exist when consumers want the same things.

• Diffused preferences exist when consumers want very different things.

• Clustered preferences reveal natural segments from groups with shared preferences.

11


The long tail

Chris Anderson explains the long tail equation:

• The lower the cost of distribution, the more you can economically offer without having to predict demand.

• The more you can offer, the greater the chance that you will be able to tap latent demand for minority tastes.

• Aggregate enough minority taste, and you may find a new market.

shared with other brands.

• Present separately

Understanding competitive structure of a market

• How do customers view the brand?

• Which competitive brands do customers perceive to be their closest competitors?

• What market offering and company attributes are most responsible for these perceived differences?
