INTRODUCTION
In this modern and dynamic world, marketers look at the overall
market as a body consisting of many smaller parts whose elements have some
common characteristics.
They are mostly distinct from the entire market. For
marketers entering a market, the total market must be divided into segments or
division being similar internal of wants and need or behaviours. This
therefore, results to designing its own programme which will be developed for
its best satisfaction.
Adirika, Ebue, Nnolom (1997:40) noted that most marketers are too
large for an organization market. Some delimitation of the market is
necessary for the sake of efficiency and because of limited resources.
This takes up to market segmentation.
According to Edoga and Ani (200:18) market segmentation is defined
as the process of dividing the total market into several relatively homogenous
groups with similar product interest. This process according to them
requires marketers to identify factors that effect purchasing decision so that
consumer can be grouped accordingly.
Adirika, Ebue and Noolom (1997:30) sees marketing segmentation as
the subdividing of a heterogeneous market into homogenous subset or groups of
customers so that each subset can conceivably be selected as a separated market
target to be reach with a district marketing, mix. They further noted
that in segmentation and consequently target marketing, organization endeavour
to serve target market that they are able to satisfy efficiently and
effectively, and not just any group of buyers that seems to represent a
sizeable market. These includes the marketing of drinks.
Adirika (1992, 2-9) believe that the battles for the heart, mind
and pocket book of the customers will be won by a block by block store by
purchase, by bases. This strategy is based on the premise that customers
have different test which change over town and that these customers and variety
(customizable every organization including Brewery industries must make
decision on two areas of needs:
- what need to serve and
- whose needs to serve
market consists of buyers who differ this wants, purchasing power,
Geographical locations buying attitudes and buying practices. Any of the
variables can be used to segment a market in today's marketing environment,
where are have an our grouping economy segmentation is giving a better view of
what marketing concept is all about. A company that decides to operate on
a broad or differentiated market whether consumer industrial reseller or
government recongguishes that of normally cannot serve all customer in that
given market.
Edoga (1995:86) believes that market segmentation is disagregative
on its several demand schedules where only one was recognized before market
segmentation, this is a device which is used in assisting management to divide
a given total market demand into sets that are relatively homogenous and have
certain specified characteristics by which they are identified. Market
segmentation is customer oriented and hence, it is consistent concept. In
segmenting, we first identify the needs and want of customers (consumers)
within a sub market and then decide if it practical to develop a marketing mix
to satisfy those wants.
Management can do a better marketing job and make efficient use of
its resources by tailoring marketing programmes to individuals market segment.
