What is the difference between a target market and a mass market?

While advertising to the masses does get the message across to many people, it does not focus on who your buyers are and where they are. It's like the difference between shadow boxing vs live boxing. So know your customers and focus on their similarities: how they came to your business, what they do for a living, and what types of people use your products or services.

Difference between market segmentation and market aggregation?

Hmmm, well market aggregation a.k.a mass marketing or undifferentiated marketing, is simply marketing a product to the largest audience possible this leads to heavy exposure of the brand and product. This also leads to reduced cost in marketing the product. Usually undifferentiated marketed products are simple and seen as neccessities such as toothpaste or toilet paper. The key disadvantage to mass marketed products is that it leaves opportunities for competitiors to set up business and market a product to a individual segmented market, meaning it is more difficult to satisfy the needs and wants of customers in the total market. the key advantage is it operates in a larger market and hence more opportunities. An example would be let's say for toothpaste, toothpaste for sensitive teeth would be segmentation whereas toothpaste for the entire market would be using market aggregation theory. market segmentation is referring in this case to a more niche market or differentiated marketing, it is simply a product which is marketing to a distinct target market. that is the product is marketed to a specific segment of the total market and thus it is more easily tailored to satisfy the needs and wants of the target market. This has a key advantage to satisfy the customers but has the disadvantage of a smaller market and hence less opportunities. An example would be for computers, computers which we're sold in the earlier days were standard and sold to the entire market with the exact specifications, computers today sold by certain vendors are sold with customized specifications.

Explain types of marketing?

What defines the members of a niche market is not the market size, but some unique characteristic shared by all members of that niche market. Marketers then use that to inform decision-making about marketing strategy and develop tactics to understand the consumer needs of that group then create marketing plans to target that niche group. Niche marketing is the resulting tactic of implementing marketing strategies specifically for targeting a niche market segment, often by capitalizing on the presence of a unique characteristic of that market. For example, the market for people aged over 55 is one example of a 'niche market'. Similarly the African-American market is a 'niche' market, even though it is a large group of consumers. The gay market is another niche market group of millions of consumers around the world. So-called 'grey' marketing, African- American marketing and gay marketing are examples of the resulting marketing strategies that result from defining segments by way of niche market approaches. Niche marketing has been shown to be a very effective means for mass market brands to seek to better position their products and services to appeal to niche market consumers.
