Construct and describe two new potential segments or subsegments for your company to target for this product/service for the US market.

Assignment Task Overview

For this assignment, you will assume the role of a marketing analyst. Your consulting firm has been hired to help with a campaign effort for the client company of your selected product/service. You will communicate your results in a professional memorandum.

There are three steps to this assignment. Review all three steps before you begin.

Step 1: Refer to the product/service you chose for your Value Proposition Assignment.

The product/service you chose for the Value Proposition Assignment in Week 2 will be the subject of this assignment.

Review any feedback you received on your Value Proposition memo. You will be writing a longer, more detailed memo about the same product/service for this assignment.

Step 2: Respond to each of the following questions as they relate to your product/service. Note the research and references requirement.

I. Market Segment Analysis

Determine and describe the current primary segment. The client has an interesting question. What target market can be perceived by current messaging for the product/service? Visit the public website for your company’s product/service. Based on the information available and any other publicly available information, infer the primary target market based on the messaging you find.

Describe the primary segment you believe your company is targeting for this product/service. Focus only on this product/service (e.g., for Disney+, focus on just the streaming service, not the parks or other Disney offerings).

Describe the primary segment in terms of the behavioral, demographic, and psychographic characteristics for the segment. Give this segment an appropriate name. See, Segmenting and Targeting Markets and Customers in Learning Resources.

Classify the primary segment according to one of the VALS types discussed in the Segmenting and Targeting Markets and Customers Learning Resource.

II. New Market Segments

Construct new segments. Your client company is interested in diversifying and building its target customer base for this product/service in the US market. Who is currently being underserved or overlooked? Who could be better served by being addressed directly?

Construct and describe two new potential segments or subsegments for your company to target for this product/service for the US market. Describe each new segment in terms of its behavioral, demographic, and psychographic characteristics. Give each segment an appropriate name. Follow steps 1-4 of the process described in the Selecting Target Markets Learning Resource. Begin by identifying the customer need for this product/service. Then, break the market down into subgroups. Develop profiles of target segments. Do some secondary research on your two segments. Note: You will not need to develop a full research plan or conduct primary research for this assignment.

Of the two potential segments or subsegments you have created, which of the two has greater market potential for your company to target? Why?

Classify your new segment or subsegment according to one of the VALS types discussed in the Segmenting and Targeting Markets and Customers Learning Resource.

III. Recommendation

Present the best new segment or subsegment. What is the new segment or subsegment you recommend your company target for its product/service?

Create a simple customer persona to present your new segment and illustrate that segment in a table with the following fields and information relevant to the product/service: [segment name] [representative photo] [demographic] [background] [needs] [goals] [challenges] [perceptions] [motivations] [VALS type] See customer persona example here: 3 Examples of a Customer Persona – Simplicable

Any product changes needed by this segment or subsegment? Are any product/service changes required to serve the segment you have identified? If so, what are they?

How attractive/valuable is this segment or subsegment? Based on your research, is the segment you have identified attractive enough to justify an extended marketing campaign for your company? Or, should the campaign be one of more limited duration? Why?

Step 3: Format your submission to comply with these requirements.

Communicate your case analysis results in a Microsoft Word document formatted as a professional memorandum. Your memo will be longer than a typical one-page memo. It is reasonable to expect this assignment to be about five pages in length, single-spaced.

Address your memo to Vice President of Marketing Tiffany Morrow. Assume Ms. Morrow is your boss at a fictional consulting firm called “Destiny Marketing.” The memo is from you, and your role is a marketing analyst at Destiny Marketing. This memo is regarding the company, which is your client, and the client’s product/service. Your memo will communicate to Ms. Morrow your analysis. All questions in Step 2 must be included in your memo. A memo does not have a cover page.

Research and References Requirement

All statements of fact within the memo must be supported by a credible source, and that source must be cited using APA in-text citations.

develop a project charter to formally initiate the EHR project.

Development of Project Charter

The first and the foremost thing in any project management is development of the project charter, a document that officially starts a project and provides a reference for the future as well as a direction from start to end. A Project Charter contains objective statement of a project, describes key project goals, lists key stakeholders, and enumerates roles and responsibilities of project team members. Thus, your supervisor asked to develop a project charter to formally initiate the EHR project. The Project Charter document should comprise:

Title of the Project – EHR Implementation Phase I

Project Objective – why you want to undertake the project? What are the anticipated benefits?

Project Goals – what are you trying to accomplish?

Stakeholders – who will benefit from the project?

Project Team – Project Managers and Project Steering Committee; their roles and responsibilities.

This step of the project should comprise 3-5 APA formatted pages, excluding the Cover and Reference pages.

Your supervisor also advised you to read these articles before proceeding with this step:
