February 5, 2023 MARK 2049 – PRINCIPLES OF MARKETING II STP Assignment Worth: 15% | due Start of Class week 6 Work individually or in groups of 4 max | Graded out of 50 Objective To develop a solid understanding of the STP concept. Before you begin, read Chapter 7 from the e-text on Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning and the Tuckwell supplements on positioning posted in the week 5 learning module. Part I – Segmentation (20 marks; 4 x 5 marks each) The Canadian passenger car category can be segmented in several ways. Choose one car company (specify), for example Honda, and identify 4 segments your car manufacturer has decided to serve, based on the needs/lifestyles of different groups of people. Focus your analysis on the passenger car market, not commercial/heavy trucks or buses/coaches. Stick to the current Canadian market. Using the Honda example below as a guide, identify four other segments Honda serves and complete the chart for your chosen company. (Note: do not use the minivan segment.) Category: Passenger Cars Company: Honda Segment Primary Need Addressed Key demographic variables Key Psychographic variables Key Behavioural variables Brand example Mini van Accommodate 5 to 7 people Families with children at home under 18 Lifestyle: family- related activities (sports, travel) Benefits sought: safety, economy (purchase price, maintenance, fuel) Odyssey Target Market Profile
Part II – Targeting (3 marks) What targeting strategy is your chosen car company using? Explain your reasoning. Part III – Positioning (20 marks; 4 x 5 marks each) We discussed 5 common positioning strategies in the week 5 lecture: Comparative, Brand Leadership, Product/Service Differentiation, Lifestyle, and Value. Find 4 examples of out-of-home, print or static digital display ads ( not video), each ad depicting one of the positioning strategies (four different ads, four different strategies). Clearly label the benefit communicated in each ad and the positioning strategy used to communicate that benefit. Remember, the positioning strategy must be singular. In one sentence, explain your reasoning. Ensure each example is an actual advertisement, not a meme or fan ad. Properly cite all ads as per COMM1007/COMM2000. Use reputable sources e.g. no blogs. Ensure ad copy is large enough to read. The ads must be relatively recent (in last 5 years) and cannot be something discussed in class. The ads do not have to be from the company chosen in Part I above. Include images of all 4 ads. Save as a pdf (images go missing in Word docs) and submit as one document. Some websites to consider: https://www.adsoftheworld.com/ , http://creativecriminals.com , http://creativity-online.com/ + agency sites (e.g. https://www.bbdo.ca/ , https://www.dentsu.com/ ) Overall Communication (7 marks) Easy to read: typed, with attachments in question order above; ad copy large enough to read. Spelling (sp), Grammar (g), Word Choice (wc) etc. All names on page 1 Upload to Brightspace.
