subject: Steps Of Marketing [print this page] If you own a business, you must market to the right people. If you dont understand marketing all that well, you will probably be surprised that your not supposed to directly market to everyone. You must do research and figure out what your target market is. Your target market is a specific group, it could specifically be a certain age, gender, or cultural group. Your target market could also be based on peoples belief systems. Either way its important that you target a specific group of people, these people are going to be the most likely to buy your products. Target marketing will save the amount of money you spend on marketing in the first place, and can actually make you more money! It will also get your product out in the open more efficiently, making more people aware that your product exists. You must understand that, not everyone has a need for your product or service, and therefore marketing your product to everyone would be highly inefficient. After you figure out who your target market is, now comes the fun part, and at times difficult part! The difficult part is deciding how you want to market!
