Why Segment the Market?
All firms have limited resources. They can’t be all
things to all people. They must decide where to
focus their limited time, money and human capital so
that they yield the greatest return.
That means identifying “right-sized” pieces of the
market to go after.
What Makes a Market Segment

Measurable: possible to determine size
Significant: large enough to be profitable
