Questions From A Regional Federal Reserve Bank
I have a friend who sits on the board of one of the regional Federal Reserve Banks who sent me the following email the other day.

Lean your Marketing thru Segmentation
Not everybody goes through each step of the cycle. Some will skip from step one to step three. Someone may enter the cycle in step three. These interconnections are not trivial, it is what makes your process work and it also may be stopping it from working
HOW TO GROW YOUR ONLINE SALES BY POSITION YOUR PRODUCT TO THE RELEVANT MARKET
A position is a reference point determined in terms of time and space. For example USA is positioned between Mexico to the south, Pacific Ocean to the west, Canada to the north and so forth. A position can be a rank or a qualification i.e. China is placed 3rd in the world economy after USA and Britain. In marketing we use position the same way; we use positioning to refer to product relative to other competing products in the market, i.e. product A is positioned to appeal to middle income group. Brand B is positioned to appeal to the go-getters. Positioning of products is a process and there are steps that are used to come up with a specific position for specific product. Positioning is therefore the process of putting a product in a location in reference to the competition and the entire market.

Questions On Guest Loyalty
A readers question about guest loyalty. Is it really an effort to encourage guest loyalty or just a frequency scheme disguised as a loyalty program?
Hitting the Sweet Spot
Anyone who’s ever played golf knows about the ‘sweet spot’. It’s that favoured spot on the clubface – hit the sweet spot and it feels good, you’re in control of the ball and that birdie is yours for the taking. If you don’t hit that spot, it doesn’t feel right, you spend your time hacking in the rough and before you know it you’re in a bad patch.
GAPS, SWOT and Segments, Oh, My
SWOT is an acronym for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. When performed normally, this type of analysis yields almost cursory and useless results. Typical responses when looking at an organization as a whole include comments about having good people (a strength), lacking suitable space (a weakness), growth of a business in a strong economic market (an opportunity) or the presence of a competitor (a threat). This provides a brief snapshot of where an organization is and what might be on the horizon in very high overview. This approach contains only the singular dimension of flat area.
Marketing definition

Understanding Customer Relations Management (2)
Not long ago, companies with efficient facilities and greater resources were able to satisfy customer needs with standardized products, reaping advantages through productivity gains and lower costs. Mass marketing and mass production were successful as long as customers were satisfied with standardized products. As more firms entered the market, mass marketing techniques, where the goal was to sell what manufacturing produced, started to lose effectiveness. Target marketing, or segmentation, shifted a company's focus to adjusting products and marketing efforts to fit customer requirements. Changing customer needs and preferences require firms to define smaller and smaller segments.

A case for rebranding - catalysts for brand revitalization
Rebranding, whether a product or an entire brand, is a serious endeavour. The overall need for rebranding is based on the basic premise that just as people change their style of clothes, hairstyles and home decorating, so brands need to keep up with the times and changing market and consumer dynamics. At the same time, rebranding can be undertaken to fix errors made earlier in a product’s development, to create new consistency across products, or conversely, to take advantage of the benefits of product differentiation and market segmentation.
RFM - Recession Proof Your Marketing Spend Today!
RFM stands for Recency, Frequency and Monetary Value. It has been used by direct marketers for over 40 years as a segmentation tool to increase marketing ROI. The basic premise of RFM is that customers who have purchased more recently, more frequently and have spent more with your company are your best prospects for future direct marketing campaigns. Like data mining/response modeling, the goal of RFM is to increase marketing ROI by communicating (via direct mail, call center, etc.) only with customers that are likely to respond. Done well, you increase your ROI as you attain almost the same number of sales by contacting only a fraction of your customer base. This is a fullproof method to increase sales while decreasing marketing spend in a bad economy.

Psychographic Profiles
Psychographic profiles are used in relation to marketing segmentation and advertising. They are not exactly a demographic profile, but still very important. What psychographic profiles do for an entrepreneur is enable them to better define their strategy on a cultural level. Let's first better define psychographic profiles. A psychographic profile of a group of people will reflect common activities, interests and opinions (AIO) as well as attitudes and values of those people. In a way this could be considered a nice and basic cross section of a culture.
