Consumer Behavior: Market Segmentation and Real-Time Bidding

This document discusses market segmentation and real-time bidding. It describes two types of shared consumer characteristics - quantitative and cognitive factors - that marketers use to segment markets. Demographic factors like age, gender, income determine needs, while psychographics explain purchase decisions. Market segmentation can be done using demographic factors like age, gender, household type or geographic location. Psychographics define consumer lifestyles through activities, interests and opinions. Real-time bidding allows advertisers to target users in the right context through web crawlers and predictive analytics.
