P4 Kinds of Market Segmentation Plan of action applied to clients base

Market segmentation is a process in which administration of the company has divided target consumers into controllable as well as manageable group and they all members has same needs, preferences, attitude, perception, motivation factor, learning style and many more. Through this, enterprises able to know market demand and future trends accordingly they are produce product in order to develop loyal buyer those has repurchase existing goods and spread positive mouth publicity, thus enhance profitability and sustainability of firm effectively (Leroi-Werelds and et. al., 2014). This all information help management to take right decision to run business task and manage persons portfolios. Marketing manager of Homebase divide their target market into two parts. In one section those person has select that used SMS services in another part people can not use this facilities. Both group has different opinion about company product and service, it help management of take right decision related to promotional strategies, sales, quality of goods and services or many more. There are five method of market segmentation which has detail below:

Demographic: It is a most common method of dividing market into manageable part accordingly to company needs and wants. In each one section people have same kind of preferences, taste, culture etc. These factor has run affect organisation performance that is why they are consider them before taking any decision of selling product in that area. Several other elements education, marital status, gander, age, religion, job, social class and many more has also create positive as well as negative impact (Lee and et. al., 2015). So that, Homebase has analyse these all factor and increase their user of SMS services in target location. Their offer of text messaging has depend on age factor so that they want to focus on that area to increase profits. Demographic segmentation strategies only help full for large organisation that want many clients with little discrimination of preferences.

Geographic: In United Kingdom, social cultural environment has change with location so that firms has find out area where their product should be sell or have some opportunities to gain profits. Homebase provide networking services to their buyer and geographical location has create issues of less network availability that create negative image of the company at market place and individual has switch their services brand with other enterprises SMS facilities. But, Homebase can not do anything in this problem because low network has provided by government. For this, management of the company has consult with UK authority to remove communication system issues then they offer SMS services in that location.

Psycho-graphic: In current environment, each person has their own thinking and opinion about certain things which shows their psychological behaviour. It cover habit, interest, lifestyle, attitude, belief and many more. Organisation has consider these element to take right decision related to sell SMS facilities to all customers (Kumar and Reinartz, 2016). So that, it is a management responsibility to analyse clients need and their psycho-graphic behaviour about goods and services accordingly they are offer commodities which help to attract large number of individual toward organisation with high loyalty.

Behavioural: Behaviours of the people can be change but is a very complex process and each one organisation can not able to do that in an effective ways. So that, Homebase has divided their market accordingly to behavioural aspect. In each one section, all person has same kind of behavioural traits that help them to offer goods in an effective ways in order to achieve goals in given time frame. In present market, digitalisation has on boom so that SMS services of the company has lot of opportunities in industry.

Combination Strategy: Almost all organisation what every is small and large has used combination strategies because market are dynamic and customer's demands are unlimited. So that, manager has choose multiple action of plan in order to full fill need of target consumers effectively (Kerzner and Kerzner, 2017). Through this, company has able to increase sales by 20% in a year thus enhance performance as well as market position.

P5 B2C and B2B models of decision making

Decision making process has changed with company to company, in this management has played very important role in order to make decision according to market demand. In present business environment, there are two type of enterprises B2C and B2B or both have their own strength as well as weakness which effect firm decision positively or negatively. Business to business and business to consumer two kind of commercial enterprise has effective work and associated judgement has detail below:

Decision Making Process	Business to Consumers	Business to Business
Classical and Rational Model	In this mode, manager of the company has take decision according to customers demand at market place. It called rational decision making process. They are used B2C classical decision approach to identifying problem which affect judgement positively as well as negatively. This model is very beneficial for an organisation that help to achieve goals effectively. Classical as well as rational decision model can not implemented into B2B firm because it more focus on their product as compare to human being (Hammer, 2015). It create negativity effect on organisation performance and productivity in long period of time. B2B unit have large scale operational activities so that this method can not helpful for them to run enterprises effectively. Big company can not focus on one objectives they are multiple goals so that manager of that firm not used this method to take decision.
Administrative Model or Bounded Rationality	In this, framework covers target customers to sell product (Goetsch and Davis, 2014). It is essential for administration to consider all necessary alternatives method. B2C may be small as well as large according to their market so that available alternative has shows minimum effect on organization performance. There have engagement between management and decision - making process positively that help to achieve aim effectively. There are several choice are addressable for company to analyse need of decision.
Retrospective model	Firm are trying to convince individuals to purchase commodities and services in offer price. In B2B unit demand of the product has exist and organisation can not have number of option. So that, owner of firm make offer according to other enterprises demand effectively.
