Geographic segmentation is used when a product satisfies a customer’s want or need that is specific to a region.
Tesla can use a geographic segmentation because gas prices vary by region and Tesla can focus its marketing to those consumers that live in areas with high has prices. For example, Tesla can market to Europe because most European countries have high gas prices and green-friendly governments and policies. With the use of geographic segmentation, Tesla can rule out countries like Venezuela, where gas only costs fifteen cents a gallon.
Demographic segmentation is used when a company wants to differentiate its customers by easily measured characteristics like gender, age, income and education. With the use of demographic segmentation, Tesla can employ its resources only to people that can afford it. For example, Tesla can market the Roadster S to males that are in their late thirties, and have high income.
