Requirements for effective segmentation.

There are many ways to segment a market. But all of this segmentation are not equally effective. For example: when buyers of table salt markets that could be divided into blonde & brunette customers but here, this buyers hair color doesn't affect the table salt.
Moreover, when all the buyers buy same amount of salt each month & willing to pay same amount of price then this segmentation would not be benefited.
So, to be useful effective segmentation, markets must be -

1. Measurable:  It measure the markets size , purchasing power & profiles of the segments.

2. Accessible:  This segments can be effectively reached & served.

3. Substantial: Here, markets are so large & profitable to serve.

4. Differentiable: Different marketing mix & programs are found here. For example: men & women are respond similarly to marketing  efforts for soft drinks.

5. Actionable:  Effective segmentation are designed for attracting & serving the segments.
