In this exercise, a total of eight different market segments for the cold beverage market have been provided. (Note: For the purpose of this discussion activity, let's assume that the cold beverage market extents to sodas, juice, energy drinks, milk-based drinks, water, sports drinks, and so on) \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline On the go & Need a boost & Variety seekers \\ \hline Sporty & Hold the sugar & Just feel like it \\ \hline \end{tabular} QUICK OVERVIEW OF EACH MARKET SEGMENT QUICK OVERVIEW OF EACH MARKET SEGMENT Really thirsty This group of consumers is seeking a fairly straightforward functional benefit from their consumption of a beverage. On the go The on-the-go market segment is a busy group of consumers who tend to eat and drink while they are traveling. Need a boost This market segment consists of those consumers are feeling rundown or tired during the day. Variety seekers Variety seekers are consumers that have limited brand loyalty and will consume a broader selection of drinks, depending upon their taste and situation at the time. Health focus The health focused market segment consists of consumers who make their food and beverage choices based upon being healthy and eating well. Sporty This market segment consists of consumers looking for products that are helpful when playing sport or while exercising. Hold the sugar These consumers may have particular needs such as weight loss goals or being diabetic, but in most cases they are looking to cut some calories from their daily diet. Just feel like it This consumer segment is attracted to drinks for enjoyment and refreshment, rather than for any functional (thirst) benefits. 1. Review the above market segments and identify which segments would make attractive target markets for drink companies. Outline the basis you used to select the most attractive segments. 2. Using your list of target market/s, identify the types of beverages (e.g. bottled water, soda, energy or sports drinks, juice, milk) and flavors that would best fit the needs of each target market. 3. In addition to the type of beverage and flavor, are there any other product attributes (e.g. packaging, container) that needs to be designed for the market's needs? 4. Outside of the product mix, in what ways should the other elements of the marketing mix be modified?

The STP process is an important concept in the study and application of marketing. The letters STP stand for segmentation, targeting, and positioning. The STP is a fundamental concept in marketing success, as without it firms would have relatively generic marketing strategies and would generally fail to compete effectively. In some marketing textbooks, the STP process is essentially that textbook's description of how to construct marketing strategy - as target market selection and positioning are key strategic decisions for a brand. Please note that STP is sometimes broken into STDP in some marketing textbooks as well, where the D stands for differentiation. However, differentiation is essentially a component of positioning.
