Which segmentation uses geographic location?

Which segmentation uses geographic location?

• A. Demographics
• B. Geographics
• C. Psychographics
• D. Marketing Mix

Answer: (B)

Geographic segmentation uses location to group customers by geographic units such as country, region, city, climate, or urban vs rural. This lets marketers tailor products and messages to local conditions—weather, culture, population density, and channel availability influence what people need and how they buy. For example, promoting winter gear in colder regions or adjusting store formats for urban versus rural areas shows how location drives marketing decisions. The other approaches describe who the customers are or how to market to them: demographics looks at age, gender, income; psychographics considers values and lifestyles. Marketing Mix isn’t a segmentation approach at all; it’s the set of tools used to execute the plan.
