All small business owners aspire to grow their businesses into a big business. Big businesses utilize market segmentation to focus their sales efforts on a target crowd in order to improve profitability. Small businesses can learn immensely from this simple yet effective big business strategy.

Business Strategy

Ask yourself the following: Who are you trying to sell your goods or services to? Will the target customers encourage profitability? Who are you trying to avoid? Focus on your target customers and concentrate your efforts on securing that specific section of the market. The battle between Pepsi and Coca-Cola is a great example of market segmentation. Coca-Cola is extremely popular with the 30-and-over crowd and Pepsi used this knowledge to cater to a younger crowd by airing commercials in which younger celebrities endorse Pepsi products.

While Pepsi is not the soda heavyweight that Coca-Cola is, Pepsi has still managed to build a successful brand as result of refocusing its marketing efforts.

The critical lesson here is that many small business owners are afraid of eliminating part of their potential market, but focusing on your target customers will make room for a clear path to grow.
