USA Market Segmentation
2008-05-31 15:55:00 I know for sure that Small Business Owners don’t think a lot about market segmentation and how they should target the right customer with their services and offers. But, I would say that you need to Discover Your Target Market and find out more about the market segmentation is mandatory, in at least 2 moments in a business life: start-up time, when checking to see if your business idea is viable or looking for financing when things start to move on the right path and you need to see how you could do more.

Spock People Search: Search Engine Market Segmentation.

Dedicated to People Search it's even better than Google at providing virtually all the internet information available on a person (and frequently some visuals). From a marketing standpoint what's most important here to me is that Spock represents the fact that the search engine market has matured sufficiently that Google no longer will be the only game in town and that there will be room for very well executed segmented entries in vertical categories: like people. I've pulled part of the John McCain and Hillary Clinton pages so you can take a look at how Spock search results look (and the example seemed relevant given the Iowa caucuses on Thurs.) So search for your old boyfriends or girlfriends by name. Or search companies to see who works there (the site is great at turning up accurate Linked In entries). There's a user editorial system which you can read about if you're inte...
