1. Target-market strategy. can determine an appropriate target-market strategy.

• we have only been considering the customers of your product or service as one big group, or a mass market. More astute marketing breaks down this large group into smaller market segments of consumers who have similar characteristics. For any specific product or service, there could be numerous market segments. However, company resources may only allow a company to pursue one or two or these market segments, which then become target market(s). In this assignment, it should divide the mass market for your product or service into at least two market segments and then pick one target market you think would have the most potential for future growth. This target market does not have to be the one the company would have actually picked, or is currently pursuing.
• be sure your second target market is different enough and represents growth potential. 
• you may need to go back and figure out the nature of the product's or service's competition. This will be important when you address the positioning of your product for your newly identified target market inasmuch as positioning is a competition-based concept. 
• The purpose will be to critically examine all of the segmentation bases and arrive at your own description of potential market segments for T-mobile.  

1. Target market strategy. Should T-mobile focus all their resources on this new target market (concentrated marketing) or should they continue to pursue both the new and the existing target market as well as other market segments (multi-segment marketing)? Alternatively, is the market so saturated might they be more successful by focusing solely on an even more narrow market segment, perhaps an even narrower version (niche marketing) of your selected target market, as their best chance for growth? What is your reasoning?
