convey its messages to multiple audiences. Segmentation provides assistance to evaluate the
needs of a market, find the new customers and make effective marketing for the product. The
segmentation of the audience is to divide clients into the following areas:
Demographics

gender, marital status, ethnicity, education, profession or education of people, size of the market
etc. The division helps to easily identify the needs and desires of customers because the needs of

cost of advertising), accessible (each segment must receive the marketing message of a company
and it is crucial that the team members can easily reach to the market).
