Market segmentation involves dividing a market into distinct groups with distinct needs. There are four commonly used bases for segmentation: geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral. Market targeting consists of selecting specific target segments to serve. Positioning strategy creates an image of the product or service in the customer's mind and involves developing positioning and a unique marketing mix for each targeted segment.
