Section 2: Market analysis
The target market of the Healers Pharmacy, composed of two distinct groups, the local
customers who are commonly referred to as the walk-ins, and the other category is the mail order
customers. In this regard, therefore, to effectively reach the two diverse market segments, the
Healers Pharmacy may utilize two major but different strategies. The two approaches the
business will use include: Market Segmentation and the target market segment strategy
(Winston, Stevens, Sherwood, & Dunn, 2013). the two procedures are briefly discussed below;
Market Segmentation
, This is where the customers of the business are classified into two; those who use the
Mail to order and the walking-in customers.
The Mail Order Customers- these customers mainly order the medication vis the mail, the main
intention being to spend less and save money. These customers are therefore commonly regarded
to be older, mostly aged about 50 years or so. in normal circumstances, older individuals
are expected to consume more medication as compared to young individuals. The mail-order
customers are also likely to buy a large number of drugs at once that would last for several days
or even months (Winston, Stevens, Sherwood, & Dunn, 2013).
The Walking-in Customers-regarded as the customers searching for the lower prices for the
medication they require. They buy medicine at the local pharmacy. Usually, there is no
demographic for this category of customers (Winston, Stevens, Sherwood, & Dunn, 2013).
