Category Definition & Segmentation
Course Overview
Participants learn to define a category from the consumer’s point of view. How the category is defined affects the tactics, or how the category is merchandised, priced and promoted. Once the category is defined, it needs to be segmented based on a consumer decision tree. This sets up the category for effective analysis based on how the consumer shops the category. Key steps and varying methods are explored in completing these steps of the Category Management process.
Learning Objectives
- Explain why defining and segmenting the categories is a key step in the "Retailer Strategy" piece of category management;
- Give examples of different ways that a category can be defined based on different retailer strategies; and
- Identify the steps to properly segment a category.
The estimated completion time of this course is 2 hours.
