based on variables such as:
ā€¢ Age
ā€¢ Gender
ā€¢ Income
Gender: Gender segmentation is widely used in consumer
marketing.
The best examples include clothing, hairdressing, magazines
and toiletries and cosmetics.

to meet the wants of different age groups.
Good examples include the marketing of toothpaste (contrast the
branding of toothpaste for children and adults) and toys (with
many age-based segments).
Social class: Consumers "perceived" social class influences their
preferences for cars, clothes, home furnishings, leisure activities
and other products & services.
Income: Many companies target affluent consumers with luxury
goods and convenience services.
Good examples include Coutts bank; Moet & Chandon champagne
and Elegant Resorts - an up-market travel company.
