Introduction

Perodua, also known as the Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sendirian Berhad (English: Second Automobile Manufacturer Private Limited), is Malaysia’s second largest automobile manufacturer after Proton. It was established in 1992 mainly producing minicars and superminis and therefore does not actually directly compete with Proton. The mission of Perodua is to be a world class automobile company renowned for excellent quality and reliability through:

• Professionalism in all operations

• Efficiency in utilizing technologies and available resources

• Optimising benefits to customers and stakeholders

• Dedication towards social responsibility to community and environment

• Uniqueness in our products

Thus, this essay will define how Perodua positions its product in the market.

Market Segmentation

Market segmentation is referred to the process by which marketers
“understand” a market, having collected and then analysed several variables using sophisticated multi-variate techniques. Using this understanding, they divide a market into distinct groups in the belief that developing different offerings for some or all of these groups will increase profitability. (Janet Hoek, 1996)

The bases for segmentation are the geographic, demographic, psychographic and behavioural segmentation. Perodua’s market segment profiles are as of the follow:

|Segmentations |Tertiary students |Secular working babies |Career achievers |Retired adults |
|Geographic |Malaysia |Malaysia |Malaysia |Malaysia |
|Demographic: | | | | |
|Age |17-24 |25-35

    Marketing Stacy's Pita Chips

    Many factors should be addressed when defining a target market. These factors include market segmentation, product life cycle, and the four "P 's" that make the marketing mix. Market segmentation is the process of dividing a total market into market groups consisting of people who have relatively similar product wants and needs. There are four major segmentation variables: geographic, demographic, psychographic, and behavioral. Geographic segmentation includes world region, country region, city, density, or climate. Demographic segmentation can consist of age, gender, income, occupation, education, race, religion, or nationality. Social class, lifestyle, and personality fall into the psychographic segment. The behavioral segment divides buyers into groups based on their knowledge, attitudes, uses, or responses to a product (Bethel, 2007). Once the market segment is identified, that market can be targeted.…

    Bored

    The poem “Bored” recounts old memories of the speaker, as she explores a period of her life where she felt trapped in a place and like she had no independence over herself. The speaker exhibits boredom and a lack of power over herself and her daily life, as she goes through old memories of working on a farm with a man. She relates her feelings of boredom, and the constant repetition of her daily life and all the tedious, unsubstantial tasks and details she did to pass the time. Her lack of independence in her life is shown by how she sits idly by while the man she’s with drives and steers them. He seems to hold most of the power and control in their relationship, and she feels a lack of direction in her life.…

    Chapter 8

    Market segmentation is to aggregate potential buyers into groups that have common needs and will respond similarly to a marketing action. Market segments are the relatively similar groups of potential buyers that result from the market segmentation process. The existence of different market segments has caused firms to use a marketing strategy of product differentiation. This strategy is related to using different marketing mix activities, such as product features and advertising, to help consumers perceive a product as being different and better than competing products. One of the marketing segments’ tools is a market-product grid, which is a framework to relate the market segments of potential buyers to products offered or potential marketing actions. A business goes to the trouble and expense of segmenting its markets when it expects that this will increase its sales, profit, and return on investment. When expenses are greater than the potentially increased sales from segmentation, a firm should not attempt to segment its market. Three specific segmentation strategies that illustrate this point are (1) one product and multiple market segments, (2) multiple products and multiple market segments, and (3) segments of one, or mass customization.…

    Who Is Sane Fe Intended Audience

    Every day we are influenced by media through watching television, browsing the internet, and listening to the radio. We all have access to these mass media products, but there is a limited intended audience that some consumers are not part of. The intended audiences are usually people who can relate or share some common characteristics of what’s being discussed. While the intended audiences are being influenced by the ideologies of the media, they’re consumers who are not affected by the media being portrayed. These people who are not affected are known as the excluded audience. The way the media tries to influence consumers is ineffective to the excluded audience because it is not influential to their lives. The intended audience may appear to be simple to identify but it is not always as easy as it appears! A commercial is a form of media where there are sometimes an excessive amount of intrigued audiences but only one intended. A closer analysis of the media and of the overt message is how the intended audience is identified.…
