References: Market Segmentation and Target Markets According to Bako,K (2007)”Market Segmentation is the sub-division of the market into identifiable groups with the target of reaching each market segment”. Furthermore Smith (1956), defines market segmentation as the division of a market into different groups of customers with distinctly similar needs and products and service requirements. Psychographic Basis of Segmentation According to Kotler et al (2000) psychographic segmentation is based on actual consumer buying for particular products, customers are segmented on the basis of their attitude towards brand loyalty.
