When a business divides the mass market based on shared characteristics to better serve the needs of one or more segments, this is called market segmentation. Demographics, psychographics, and geography are the more commonly used methods for segmentation. Often, businesses will use more than one of these methods simultaneously to identify a niche market. A business must understand its target audience in order to provide products and services which best satisfy the needs and wants of the targeted market.
