There are 4 general types of market segmentation with
a VARIETY OF SEGMENTATION VARIABLES which could be used effectively.
CATEGORY
DEMOGRAPHIC (Gender, Age)
• Male • Female • Children
BEHAVIORAL (Needs-functional benefits)
• Anti-dandruff • Hair health • Hair beauty
Rationale:
Genders: Males & Females definitely have different needs.
One main difference between the two is fragrance. Many
men are turned off by the smell of coconut, flowers,
passion fruit,…which are really feminine. Another
difference is: men’s scalp is more oily, women’s scalp is
more dry, which leads to different demands.
Age: Kid’s scalp is obviously sensitive and need less chemical features.
Key Players:
Male: X-men, Romano
Female: Clear, Sunsilk
Kids: Johnson Baby, Pigeon
Rationale:
Different people have different hair conditions, which
leads to different needs and demands. Some people love
beautifying their hair by improve shine & smoothness, the
others having hair issues will focus on specific shampoo
functions such as preventing dandruff or hair fall.

Shoulders

SEGMENTATION BASE: BEHAVIORAL (benefit soughts – FUNCTIONAL NEEDS)
PANTYLINER PAD - DAY PAD - NIGHT
Why? Rationale: There are 3 main stage of menstruation: premenstrual - during - postmenstrual cycle. And during menstruation, women have DIVERSIFYING DEMAND THAT FIT HER CONDITION & body: • time (day/night) • absorbency & thickness level (light/heavy flows)
• feature (wings/no wings) • sensitiveness (cotton surface/mesh surface)
premenstrual - postmenstrual (just light flow/spotting)
Sensitive
Longer pad with an absorbency suitable for
overnight use
Ultra (thin)
Maxi (thick)
SEGMENTATION BASE: PSYCHOGRAPHIC (lifestyles)
Why? Rationale: Sanitary pads are a low-involvement category. Women have to suffer all the pain & uncomfort (wet feelings). Besides, this “red-day” thing is a sensitive story to mention so women rarely talk about it. It is a dificult task for feminine-hygiene brands to engage with them at emotional level during red days but if you can, you win. This segmentation approach base on how the brand reflect
their characteristics like lifestyle, personality & attitude. There are many types of girl out there from the girly to rebel one. Choosing a sanitary napkin brand means accepting its spirit & symbol.
THE FEMININE THE STYLISH THE CAREFREE
Diana celebrate feminism.
Diana encourage girls to feel the pride of being a girl.
Kotex symbolize modern, active
& stylish girls. Kotex encourage girls to stay true to themselves even if they are hip-hop-aholic, rebel & not girly at all.
Laurier celebrate
freedom & liberation. Laurier encourage girls to overcome “bad days” & go for experience.
