See Dibb et al (2001)
FCB
Richard Vaughan of the Foote, Cone and Belding advertising
agency has created a grid based on level of involvement and
whether the decision making concerns mainly thinking (rational
motives) or feeling (emotional motives)
ThinkingFeeling High involvementInformative strategies for
products that are technical in nature and purchased based on
rational thinking and motives .
For examples, cars, house, computers, etc.Affective strategies
for products that provide psychological benefits
For example, cosmetics, jewellery, fashion etc.Low
involvementHabit formation strategies for products that are
bought repeatedly after researching first purchase decision -
routine purchases
For example tomato sauce, soap, toothpaste, etc.Self-
satisfaction strategies for products seen as "life's little
pleasures”
For example, sweets, biscuits, magazines, impulse items, etc.

Week 2 Workshop B
Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning
1
Learning Outcomes
Understand the importance of segmentation and its place in
marketing
Know the various methods of segmenting the market and
understand how and when they might be used
To be able to explain how advertising communicates with
targeted segments
Look at positioning in advertising
What is Market Segmentation?
Market Segmentation Rationale
Rationale
Organisations do not have infinite resources. Trying to sell a
product to someone who is unlikely to buy it wastes these
resources; focusing them on people who are likely to buy is far
more efficient.
Therefore there is a need to:
- Classify (segmentation)
- Concentrate (targeting)
The STP Process
Segment
Start with the whole market
Identify suitable method / segmentation criteria
Target
Identify nature and characteristics of each group – be more
specific of who you are targeting
Positioning
Marketing
Mix
Create a unique position in the mind of your target group and
your competitors
Develop appropriate mix
Tailor some or all elements to the needs of the group
Segmenting Consumer Markets
Consumer segmentation
Behavioural
Benefits sought
Purchase occasion
Purchase behaviour
Usage
Perceptions and beliefs
Lifestyle
Personality
Demographic
Socio-economic
Geographic
Psychographic
Profile
Behavioural –
Benefits – why people buy in the market and can highlight the
opportunities.
6
Demographics
Age
Using age to segment the market e.g. Cereal .
Gender
How can a chocolate bar be made more attractive to one
sex rather than the other? Can you identify another product
category where men and women are treated as separate groups?
Demographics
Family
What are the advantages of featuring a family in an ad?
What kinds of products frequently involve families in their ads?
Profile - Family Lifecycle
Household composition:
Child - power of persuasion - user, not buyer
Bachelor - leisure & recreation expenditure
Newly-weds, no kids – focus on consumer durables
Dependent child(ren) - child dominated purchases
Full nesters - School & education dominant
Empty nest 1 - kids flown – leisure, financial service products
Empty nest 2 - hobbies, medical expenditure
Sole survivor in employment
Sole survivor retired
Geodemographics
Combines demographic and household category variables
Census data and continuous market research on consumption
patterns
Socio economic status
Media consumption by category
Residential postcode data
Lifestyle & Psychographic
Lifestyle is a unique pattern of living which influences and is
reflected by one’s consumption behaviour
Many products today are “lifestyle” products i.e. they portray a
style of life sought by potential users
Psychographics is the method of defining lifestyle in
measurable terms
How people spend their time - Activities
What is of most importance to them - Interests
Their views about themselves and the world around them -
Opinions
Segmentation Variables – Lifestyle

Activity
How do you think Coca Cola segment its customers with its
product range?
Who would you consider to be their target markets?
What is Targeting?
Target Marketing
“The choice of which market segment(s) to serve with a tailored
marketing mix.”
Jobber, 2009

Undifferentiated
Differentiated
Customized marketing
Undifferentiated Marketing
Develop a single marketing mix for whole market.
Market analysis may reveal no pronounced differences in
customer characteristics that have implications for a marketing
strategy.
Cost of developing a separate market mix may outweigh
potential gains of meeting customer needs.
Convenient for single product companies.
Example – Coca Cola’s original marketing strategy
Differentiated Marketing
Specific marketing mixes can be developed to appeal to all or
some of the market segments.
Example - airline companies offering first, business (segment 1)
or economy class tickets (segment 2) , with separate marketing
programmes to attract the different groups.
Customised Marketing
Segmentation at the disaggregated level leads to customized
marketing.
Example - Rolls Royce cars aim its vehicles at the premium
segment
Focused Marketing
A company may identify several segments but does not serve
them all.
Appropriate for companies with limited resources.
Example – Bang and Olufsen targets stylish music systems at
upmarket consumers.
What is Positioning?
Positioning
“Positioning is the act of designing the company’s offering and
image so that they occupy a meaningful and distinctive
competitive position [place] in the target customer’s mind.”
Kotler
This is achieved by the marketing mix
Positioning
A brand’s positioning represents the key feature, benefit, or
image that it stands for in the target audience’s collective mind.
A company/brand should identify a positioning statement – a
central idea that encapsulates a brand’s meaning
Positioning and targeting decisions go hand in hand.
Positioning decisions are made with respect to intended targets
It involves two interrelated actions: positioning a brand in (the
consumer’s mind) and against (competitive positioning
strategies)
A short statement – even a word – that represents the message
you wish to imprint in customer’s minds
Tells how your brand differs from competitive brands
Developing a Positioning Strategy
Step 1- Analyse competitors’ positions
Step 2 – Offer a good or service with competitive advantage
Step 3 – Match elements of the marketing mix to the selected
segment
Step 4 – Evaluate the target market’s responses and modify
strategy if needed
Group Activity
In groups discuss what criteria can be used to compare and
position:
Supermarkets
Cars
Mobile phone networks
Airlines
Positioning by Product Attributes and Benefits
Positioning - Price/quality
Use/application
Product user
Product competitor
Heritage/ Cultural symbol

Week 1 Workshop B
USP’s and Slogans
CW Briefing
1
Objectives
Establish what constitutes a products/brands USP
Investigate different advertising slogans
Illustrate understanding of brand positioning between similar
brands
Coursework 1 brief
Discussion
With your neighbour discuss what is meant by the term “USP”.
Highlight 3 key points about USP’s.
Give examples if you wish.
What is a USP?
Every product has a Unique Selling Point/Proposition
It says something positive about the product (inherent)
It helps to differentiate one product from another (positioning)
It identifies how/why a product is used (targeting)
Questions about products
Is it really unique?
Is it a positive difference?
Does the market understand/want the difference?
Discuss these products...
Discuss in small groups what the USP’s of each of these
products are. There could be more than 1!
Name the brand that goes with each slogan:
“The ultimate driving machine."
"Don't leave home without it."
“Probably the best beer in the world."
"They'rrrre GR-R-REAT!"
"Where do you want to go today?"
"The best a man can get."
"Schhh...You-Know-Who."
"Put a tiger in your tank."
Slogans...
“Reassuringly expensive."
"Snap! Crackle! Pop!"
"Finger lickin' good."
"Have it your way."
"Just do it."
“It's the real thing."
"Obey Your Thirst."
“I’m lovin’ it”
Brand Positioning
‘Campaign for real beauty’
It shows the incredible amount of pressure young women face to
emphasise personal beauty.
Doves Social and Fashion Advertising
Dove
Campaign for “real beauty”
Brand Positioning – All Encompassing
Positioning the User
Use of real people with real bodies to reinforce the message
Dove adverts...
L’Oreal
Brand positioning – EXCLUSIVE
Use of celebrity endorsement to reinforce the message
“Because I’m Worth It”
12
L’Oreal –
Opted for EXCLUSIVE brand positioning
Product range not unlike many others in the beauty industry
People associate their brand with celebrity
They play on people’s psychological needs off achieving a
higher status.
Well if so and so uses it then so should I!
Because I’m Worth It!!
L’Oreal adverts...
L’Oreal v Dove
Two beauty brands with a similar product offering
Chosen diverse brand positioning
Helps to fight the noise
Consumers will relate more comfortably to one or the other
helping to filter out the competitors

Extensions and Deferrals
The University wants you to do your best. However we know
that sometimes events happen which mean that you can’t submit
your coursework by the deadline – these events should be
beyond your control and not easy to predict. If this happens,
you can apply for an extension to your deadline for up to two
weeks, or if you need longer, you can apply for a deferral,
which takes you to the next assessment period (for example, to
the resit period following the main Assessment Boards). You
must apply before the deadline.
You will find information about the process and what is or is
not considered to be an event beyond your control at

and-Extension.aspx
GUIDELINES AND BACKGROUND TO THIS ASSIGNMENT
Plagiarism
As part of your study you will be involved in carrying out
research and using this when writing up your coursework. It is
important that you correctly acknowledge someone else’s
writing, thoughts or ideas and that you do not attempt to pass
this off as your own work. Doing so is known as plagiarism. It
is not acceptable to copy from another source without
acknowledging that it is someone else’s writing or
thinking. This includes using paraphrasing as well as direct
quotations. You are expected to correctly cite and reference the
works of others. The Centre for Academic Writing provides
documents to help you get this right. If you are unsure, please
visit www.coventry.ac.uk/caw. You can also check your
understanding of academic conduct by completing the Good
Academic Practice quiz available on Moodle.
Moodle includes a plagiarism detection system and assessors are
experienced enough to recognise plagiarism when it occurs.
Copying another student’s work, using previous work of your
own or copying large sections from a book or the internet are
examples of plagiarism and carry serious consequences. Please
familiarise yourself with the CU Harvard Reference Style (on
Moodle) and use it correctly to avoid a case of plagiarism or
cheating being brought. Again, if you are unsure, please
contact the Centre for Academic Writing, your Academic
Personal Tutor or a member of the course team.
Return of Marked Work
You can expect to have marked work returned to you in 15
working days. If for any reason there is a delay you will be kept
informed. Marks and feedback will be provided online. As
always, marks will have been internally moderated only, and
will therefore be provisional; your mark will be formally agreed
later in the year once the external examiner has completed his /
her review.

You can access the submission link through the module web. · Your coursework will be given a zero mark if you do not submit a copy through Turnitin. Please take care to ensure that you have fully submitted your work. · All work submitted after the submission deadline without a valid and approved reason (see below) will be given a mark of zero. · Extensions of up to two calendar weeks can only be given for genuine "force majeure" and medical reasons, not for bad planning of your time. Please note that theft, loss, or failure to keep a back-up file, are not valid reasons. The extension must be applied for on or before the submission date. You can apply for an extension by submitting an Examination/ Coursework Deferral/Extension Application Form. Application Forms along with the supporting evidence should go to the relevant Student Support Office. For a longer delay in submission a student may apply for a deferral. · Students MUST keep a copy and/or an electronic file of their assignment. · Checks will be made on your work using anti-plagiarism software and approved plagiarism checking websites. Extensions and Deferrals The University wants you to do your best. However we know that sometimes events happen which mean that you can’t submit your coursework by the deadline – these events should be beyond your control and not easy to predict. If this happens,
  • 33.
    you can applyfor an extension to your deadline for up to two weeks, or if you need longer, you can apply for a deferral, which takes you to the next assessment period (for example, to the resit period following the main Assessment Boards). You must apply before the deadline. You will find information about the process and what is or is not considered to be an event beyond your control at https://share.coventry.ac.uk/students/Registry/Pages/Deferrals- and-Extension.aspx GUIDELINES AND BACKGROUND TO THIS ASSIGNMENT Plagiarism As part of your study you will be involved in carrying out research and using this when writing up your coursework. It is important that you correctly acknowledge someone else’s writing, thoughts or ideas and that you do not attempt to pass this off as your own work. Doing so is known as plagiarism. It is not acceptable to copy from another source without acknowledging that it is someone else’s writing or thinking. This includes using paraphrasing as well as direct quotations. You are expected to correctly cite and reference the works of others. The Centre for Academic Writing provides documents to help you get this right. If you are unsure, please visit www.coventry.ac.uk/caw. You can also check your understanding of academic conduct by completing the Good Academic Practice quiz available on Moodle. Moodle includes a plagiarism detection system and assessors are experienced enough to recognise plagiarism when it occurs.
  • 34.
    Copying another student’swork, using previous work of your own or copying large sections from a book or the internet are examples of plagiarism and carry serious consequences. Please familiarise yourself with the CU Harvard Reference Style (on Moodle) and use it correctly to avoid a case of plagiarism or cheating being brought. Again, if you are unsure, please contact the Centre for Academic Writing, your Academic Personal Tutor or a member of the course team. Return of Marked Work You can expect to have marked work returned to you in 15 working days. If for any reason there is a delay you will be kept informed. Marks and feedback will be provided online. As always, marks will have been internally moderated only, and will therefore be provisional; your mark will be formally agreed later in the year once the external examiner has completed his / her review.
