Abstract: | Most of the research into market segmentation has focused on methods of positioning markets into segments and not on the practical use of market segmentation. This article discusses how a sample of 32 industrial companies in South Africa used market segmentation. The results of this survey identified the variables used in segmenting markets , the criteria used to form segments and to select targent segments, and the marketing actions used to reach the chosen segments. |
