Successful marketing requires
timely and relevant market information. An inexpensive research program, based on questionnaires given to
current or prospective customers, can often uncover dissatisfaction or possible new products or services. A marketing strategy identifies

offerings, prices, distribution, promotional efforts, and services toward those segments. Ideally, the strategy
should address unmet customer needs that offer adequate potential profitability. A good strategy helps a
business focus on the target markets it can serve best. Owners of small businesses

segments - target marketing - gets the most return from small investments. There are two methods used to segment

needs of customers in a particular geographical area. For example, a neighborhood convenience store may send
