How Market Segmentation evolved?
A strategy that believes there is one undifferentiated market and that one product will appeal to all consumers in that market.
Mass Marketing
Advantages Lower cost One ad campaign One marketing
strategy Usually, one product
Disadvantages Only works if all
consumers have the same needs, wants, desires, back ground, education and experience.

Now markets are becoming more fragmented
• In the developed economies at least the idea of mass marketing is essentially dead
• One product for a large market does not work anymore
• Consumers are becoming more sophisticated and choosy
- They have better access to information. Why?- They have more choice.- They are overloaded with marketing messages. Why?- They are more suspicious.

Any colour you like, as long as it’s Black
The Model T Ford is regarded as the first car to be built in 1908, using a production line.
Henry Ford wanted to produce quickly. So Black paint was used, that dries more quickly so the only colour one could have was Black. Soon Ford lost share to companies that offered other colours.

Multivariable segmentation• For most products one variable is not enough, it will
tell you little about the target group• So organizations tend use multivariable segmentation
In general multivariable segmentation leads to better customer insights
This is simply combining segmentation basis:
Simple multivariable segmentation uses two or more bases from one category
E.g. Age and gender from demographic variablesAdvanced multivariable segmentation uses two or more bases from two or more categories
E.g. Lifestyle, age, family life cycle and attitude to the product
Multistage segmentation uses different variables at different times E.g. Region, then lifestyle and age

VALS Segmentation
VALS "Values, Attitudes And Lifestyles" is a research methodology used for psychographic market segmentation. Market segmentation is designed to guide companies in tailoring their products and services in order to appeal to the people most likely to purchase them.VALS was developed in 1978 by social scientists (Arnold Mitchell and his colleagues). It was immediately embraced by advertising agencies. VALS draws heavily on the work of Harvard sociologist David Riesman and psychologist Abraham Maslow.Arnold Mitchell used statistics to identify attitudinal and demographic questions that helped categorize adult American consumers into one of nine (9) lifestyle types: survivors (4%), sustainers (7%), belongers (35%), emulators (9%), achievers (22%), I-am-me (5%), experiential (7%), societally conscious (9%), and integrated (2%).
The survey done among 1,635 Americans and their partners, who responded to an SRI International survey in 1980.
