Market Segmentation on the

The Web gives companies opportunity to present
different store environments online

The design of the site can immediate appeal to
different market segments, for example

For the young fashion-conscious buyer you may have a
site with a wide variety of typefaces, bold graphics and
bright color product photos (Steve Madden home page)

For the older, more established buyer you may have a
more muted conservative style (Talbots home page)
22

In the physical world, smaller retail stores
usually choose one image that appeals to
most of their customers

virtual spaces for different market segments
23
Offering Customers a Choice
on the Web

Companies can offer a form of one-to-one marketing (一
对一营销) by allowing customers to customize the
retailer’s Web site

One example of this is Dell.com

Offers each customer in Premier accounts its own
Web site

their own personalized pages within the Premier
account

A Web site should include extra content
related to the product or service offered
26
Behaviour of a Buyer (采购者)

shopping cart
