Buyers in any market differ in their wants, resources, locations, buying attitudes, and buying practices. Through market segmentation, companies divide large, heterogeneous markets into smaller segments that can be reached more efficiently and effectively with products and services that match their unique needs.

Many companies today are localizing their products, advertising, promotion, and sales efforts to fit the needs of individual regions, cities, and even neighborhoods. ( Marketing: An introduction for Education Management Corporation, 10th Edition Page 177)


Marketers must be careful to guard against stereotypes when using age and life-cycle segmentation. (Marketing: An introduction for Education Management Corporation, 10th EditionPage 178)

week 5 EOC: health care reform

Health care reform is becoming a big issue in the United States.  Should the government step in? “After decades of failed attempts by a string of Democratic presidents and a year of bitter partisan combat,  President Obama signed legislation on March 23, 2010, to overhaul the nation's health care system and guarantee access to medical insurance for tens of millions of Americans.”( http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/health/diseasesconditionsandhealthtopics/health_insurance_and_managed_care/health_care_reform/index.html)
According to this survey done in 2006 (http://pubdb3.census.gov/macro/032007/health/h01_001.htm), more people had some type of health insurance than those that didn’t have any coverage at all. So why do we need the governments help? 249,829 had some kind of health insurance vs 46,995 that didn’t have any health insurance during the year. So my question now is why does the government think that it can take over health insurance by making it more expensive when what we had before was working?
