Why segmentation is important in marketing and how small businesses can afford R&D of segmentation?

  We all know that a company's success is based on two components: operational and marketing. One can't function without another. There are many examples when great innovative companies that have been destroyed without effective marketing.  Many companies don't have an effective marketing strategy, because companies think that their invention will be sold by itself. In fact, marketing strategy is very important and should be based on careful research and analysis. How can a company conduct R&D? What information can be used for marketing segmentation?  The most popular approach is to find demographics and geographic data. We can add also firmographics (information about industry and company), and psychographics( information about customers' motives to buy).

My thoughts on business forecasting

A business enterprise needs to forecast the demand for its products or services. What can businesses do to predict the future sale or order of supplies? You can build statistical models or use your judgment. For the majority of business owners, a daily routine is quite complicated. A business owner sometimes doesn't have time to build a statistical model. A business mustn't run out of supplies or be understaffed. You can't let your clients or customers down. Big corporations can afford to hire consulting firms to do forecasting for them. Although, even the most sophisticated forecasting models don't give any assurances. So, what is the solution then? Any forecast has some flows. Political, economic, or weather problems can affect it. I think small business owners have an advantage in forecasting. Why? A small business owner is involved with business regularly. That gives an advantage in comparison with big corporations. A daily sales volume gives an idea about stuffing...
