Lifestyle Marketing: Reaching the New American Consumer ("Psychographic Segmentation" begins on p. 13)
by Ronald D. Michman, Edward M. Mazze, Alan J. Greco. 243 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

In today's competitive economic environment, knowing your customer has never been more important. Research shows that most companies do not segment their market by lifestyle. Instead, they rely solely on demographic factors to define their customers. This book helps marketers understand how to reach customers from children to tweens and singles to seniors. It demonstrates how such trends as cross-shopping and the blurring of gender roles can be accounted for by one's overall marketing strategy.

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

The growing importance of lifestyle market segmentation and its role as one aspect of an overall marketing strategy is the focus of this management-oriented book. Michman shows how social and cultural changes in group dynamics and purchasing influences can be used in making lifestyle marketing decisions. The book places market and lifestyle segmentation in a historical perspective; discusses group dynamics and such target markets as singles, teens, the elderly, and ethnic groups; and examines the impact of decision making, purchasing habits, and changing values on consumer behavior.
