GIS helps businesses envision the future, devise flexible growth strategies, and implement innovations that captivate customers. James brings Ivy League-level insights at practical values, making it accessible for businesses of all sizes.
In this video, James unravels the concept of Market Segmentation. He emphasizes that the key to winning in any market is finding a strong product-market fit, reaping maximum profitability, understanding the market size, and articulating a clear value proposition for your product.
The market segmentation process is broken down into seven comprehensive steps:
Determining attractiveness criteria: This varies by business, but generally includes fit, competitive intensity, and accessibility.
Needs segmentation: Identify the core need of your product and what differentiates each segment.
Fleshing out market segments: Use both hard facts (like demographics and buyer behaviors) and soft facts (like activities, interests, opinions) to deepen your understanding of each segment.
Apply attractiveness criteria: Score each segment on market demand, industry competitiveness, and market access, and rank them based on attractiveness and accessibility.
Create unit economics: Put some financials around each segment to understand their potential profitability.
Create a positioning statement: Define the value proposition, product definition, and price characteristics based on the research conducted.
Test your assumptions: Meet potential customers in the field and ask them about their perceptions of your product.
This video is packed with a treasure trove of knowledge, from examples of goods and services and their respective market segments, to the two approaches to market segmentation (Product-Based and Customer-Based), to creating a strategy for the marketing mix.
