<\/a><\/p>\nThe concept behind market segmentation is simple: it allows you to sort consumers into groups based on demographics, needs, priorities, common interests, and other behavioral criteria in order to better understand your target audience. Companies that use this information can then optimize their marketing efforts, product and service offerings, and more to target specific customer groups. It\u2019s a way to fine-tune what can otherwise be a shot-in-the-dark approach.<\/p>\n
