Talk:Target market

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Target marketing can be used for many different fields in business. Marking in general is considerable to how you can sell a product to a certain type of people, in categories such as what kind of people they are. Don't you remeber when you were in high school and you had different crowds its the same thing, But what group do you want to deal with or sell to. How could you market to one if you were a part of them, research them!! BY DJ of Ft. mYers

[edit] Rewrite

The whole article is a mess. Despite its lemma, it chiefly talking about Marketing strategy, it cites no sources and uses a scheme that suggests a common approach, which however is only one of many possible ways. This didn't help at all!!! -- H005 20:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Target Audience

Target Market and Target Audience are not necessarily the same thing. Target Market is a very specific business term. Target audience is a less specific media term.

A Target Market covers the specific segment of people that a company wants to market a product or service, or group of products and/or services. This group is chosen by demographic, psychographic, and various other means. An example of a target market might be described as, "A college-educated woman living in the southeast United States. A working mother of 2 or 3, a homeowner, with a middle-class income and lifestyle, who has aspirations for a higher lifestyle."

A Target Audience is the specific demographic segment for media, whether that be advertising, a television show, or a motion picture. A target audience might be described as, "Middle class teenage girls between 13 and 18." Far less specific, and not necessarily the same thing.

Alternatively, "Target Market" is more likely to be what people are searching on. Danny Kettle has his own solar system. The term applies more widely than to media terms. Thsi term will more likely be referenced by people looking for information in a general Marketing context than by people looking for media specific context.

Cross reference the two seems like a better solution

[edit] Different Terms

These terms are different and should remain seperate, possibly with a related link between them.

Target Market has a specific meaning in marketing. Target Audience is more general and not necessarily related to marketing.
