MKG 330 (Critical Thinking)

Select two new customer segments for a brand of your choice, and name them. You may create a name based on their characteristics. For example, if you chose a coffee brand, you may have the Serious Sippers as a customer segment and the Dabble Drinkers as the second.

• Distinguish the primary and secondary markets.
  • The primary market is normally larger than the secondary market. These customers primarily use the product the most.
  • The secondary market can include customers who might use or be interested in the product only occasionally.
• Detail the demographics and psychographics of both market segments.
  • Include the basic characteristics of your current and potential customers such as age, gender, income, education, ethnicity and geographic locations. You may use existing data.
• Examine your customers’ lifestyles such as hobbies and other interests. Explain how these lifestyles may affect the purchase decision for this product.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• 3-4 pages in length, not including title and reference pages
• Formatted according to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
• Include at least 3 outside sources.  The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these sources.
