Targeting of the segmented market As we have segmented the market we can know target the different segments with different strategies.. MALES : as we can say that males is different market they use and buy cosmetics .. So we can put up different advertisement for different segments like for male say we can promote about the different uses of our product . FEMALES: we can advertise it as a gift item May be with some attractive packaging.

TARETING MARKETS ON BUYING FREQUENCIES :

ONCE IN A MONTH: as they use or buy our product only once in a month our strategies have to be totally different for them may be they are the bulk purchasers who buy at once . Here we can come up with may be some combo pack. As this segments hold maximum of our female market.

Channels of Advertisement : 

Channels of Advertisement The Company should advertise through these sources continously at the specific time given above as these sources are followed by consumers mostly.

Recommendations : 

Recommendations Since most of our respondents want a change in our product, the type of change they are looking for is improved quality, change in price and better packaging. Considering their needs , we can come out with new products or may be reposition ourselves as an elite brand by promoting it exclusively with Celebrities, Brand ambassadors & some exclusive shops.
