Question: How Markets are Segmented
Your job in this Discussion Thread is to find an ad, print or TV, and tell us who you think is the target market. The hints are in the type of music used, the spokesperson's persona, the approach to the marketing communications message, the types of people used in the ad, the words chosen for the ad, etc. All this should tell you to whom the marketing communications is intended to influence.
Repositioning
Can you think of an existing product that has been repositioned by finding a new market with a different need than the original product? Think of Croc's Shoes, for example. They repositioned from a casual, fun shoe to a practical work shoe for nurses and others on their feet all the time.
