• Segmentation is the process of subdividing a population (or ‘market’) into distinct groups that share common features, eg: may behave in similar ways, or have similar needs or attitudes
• Helps us to consider and develop tailored approaches to different audience segments – helps us developed ‘valued products and services’ specifically for them
• Can help in addressing challenging inequalities – Some groups with greatest needs can respond less well to traditional communications type approaches – they may also be under-served or not-well-served by existing services
• Enables us to consider how to prioritise people/groups that will be key to achieving programme aims and objectives

• Ideally, each consumer should be treated differently and made a unique offering.
• This isn’t practical, so consumers are grouped according to similarity of needs/desires.
• Research is used to understand how different people are responding to an issue
– what ‘moves and motivates’ them
• Service, product and message design needs to target these clusters

How to prioritise segments
Donovan’s TARPARE approach
T Total number of persons in the segment; AR Proportion of At Risk persons in the segment; P Persuade-ability of the target audience; A Accessibility of the target audience; R Resources required to meet the needs of the target
audience;E Equity, social justice considerations.

Segmentation: attitudinal, behavioural
Attitudes and beliefs:
• “I am more confident when I’ve had a drink”
• “ a drink helps me relax”
• “my drinking doesn’t harm me in any way”
Behavioural: how often; with who; when; influences of routines; where; what
