How will you appeal to customers?
“When we segment based on attitudes, we’re looking for a benefit that meets three criteria: 1) our product actually delivers the benefit better than the competition; 2) customers perceive that our product delivers better; and 3) the benefit is rated highest in importance based on our customer analysis. If you find a benefit that meets these criteria, you select that as your segmentation variable.” ~Drew Boyd

Goals
Marketing is all about goals.

Think of it like planning a trip. In order to know when you’ve arrived, you need to select a destination first. Otherwise, you would be traveling aimlessly.
There’s another word for that: getting lost.
If your boss asked about where your company’s marketing was headed, you wouldn’t want to say, “We don’t know,†right? Of course not. You’d want to show you have a clear plan, one that’s held accountable to hard numbers.
