Segmentation and customization of markets refined needs and wants of customer groups to achieve what?

• A. Wider market homogenization
• B. Better personalisation and customisation
• C. Less targeted marketing
• D. Higher advertising costs

Answer: (B)

Segmentation and customization aim to make offerings more relevant by focusing on the distinct needs of different customer groups. By dividing the market into segments and tailoring products, services, and communications to each group, you create a more personalised and customised experience. This increases how well the offering fits individual preferences, boosting engagement, satisfaction, and loyalty. It isn’t about making the market more uniform or targeting less; it’s about delivering more precise, relevant solutions to different groups. Higher advertising costs may come with more targeted efforts, but the primary goal is better personalisation and customisation.
