Market research helps you "identify" your market. Segmentation lets you "segment" your identified market into more refined groups. In short market research is more broad and segmentation is more refined.
Segmentation is often used in conjunction with customer profiling, but there are areas of difference. For instance, profiles are not suitable for identifying certain population segments: people with disabilities are usually split between multiple neighbourhood profiles. Likewise gender segmentation is rarely associated with neighbourhood. For other factors such as age and ethnicity, composite profiles can only support broad generalities.
When you decide on which criteria to segment the market i.e. demographic,physographic,geographic etc ,segmentation phase is over. On analyzing the segmented market, when you decide which segment to actually offer you product/service ,you have finished targeting. manishmakhija69@gmail.com for comments
