Market Segmentation

  

See: Market Segment. Why would you even worry about segmenting markets? Well, let's say you sell Tylenol or its modern derivative, Sibannac. The sell to old people--the places and manners in which they buy, are vastly different from how grad school students buy. So you have to segment the market to accommodate the buyers and keep them...ya know...happy.
