Question 3

Good marketers think carefully about market segments. In our unit we discussed some of the variables that defined market segments - four in total. One of them was "geographics" - in other words what part of the world do you live in and what is your region's culture?

One example we discussed was McDonalds' entry into India and the fact that McDonalds did not try to produce hamburgers with beef in them. Instead, they used a vegetarian product.
Please identify the other 3 variables that defined the market segments.

Give examples that are relevant to this segmentation. You may use Holmes Institute examples or others from your own research.
