The statements about the identifying potential customer needs step during market segmentation that are true are:
-
Thinking during this step should focus on identifying basic needs. - This is true as it's important to understand the fundamental needs of customers to effectively segment the market.
-
The resulting list should help provide guidance for the next steps in the segmentation process. - This is also true, as identifying customer needs lays the foundation for developing segments that are actionable.
-
This is a brainstorming step, and all potentially relevant needs should be written down. - This is true because brainstorming encourages thorough exploration of customer needs without immediately filtering them, which can be useful for a comprehensive understanding of the market.
The statement "This step should result in a complete list of all possible customer needs." is not necessarily true. While it's important to generate a comprehensive list, it's unlikely that one step will yield a complete list, as some needs may be uncovered or refined in later analysis.
