P5 - Target Groups
Introduction
Businesses segment market in different ways to easily get to their target market and meet their needs. Businesses divide the market by
people’s age, gender, their lifestyle etc. When businesses know who they are targeting, they are more likely to attract those people and make
more sales, because everyone has different needs and wants so they can’t be treated like they have similar needs. There’s a difference
between a customer, consumer and a buyer. A buyer and a customer is someone who makes the purchase from the seller; they are the one
who makes the transaction, regardless of the scenario. The consumer is someone who uses the product or a service.
