　　It can be argued that much consumer dissatisfaction

　　with marketing strategies arises from an inability to aim

　　advertising at only the likely buyers of a given product.

　　There are three groups of consumers who are affected

　　(5) by the marketing process. First, there is the market

　　segment—people who need the commodity in question.

　　Second, there is the program target—people in the

　　market segment with the “best fit” characteristics for a

　　specific product. Lots of people may need trousers, but

　　(10) only a few qualify as likely buyers of very expensive

　　designer trousers. Finally, there is the program audience

　　―all people who are actually exposed to the

　　marketing program without regard to whether they need

　　or want the product.

　　(15) These three groups are rarely identical. An exception

　　occurs occasionally in cases where customers for a

　　particular industrial product may be few and easily iden-

　　tifiable. Such customers, all sharing a particular need,

　　are likely to form a meaningful target, for example, all

　　(20) companies with a particular application of the product

　　in question, such as high-speed fillers of bottles at brew-

　　eries. In such circumstances, direct selling (marketing that

　　reaches only the program target) is likely to be

　　economically justified, and highly specialized trade

　　(25) media exist to expose members of the program target—

　　and only members of the program target—to the

　　marketing program.

　　Most consumer-goods markets are significantly

　　different. Typically, there are many rather than few

　　(30) potential customers. Each represents a relatively small

　　percentage of potential sales. Rarely do members of a

　　particular market segment group themselves neatly into

　　a meaningful program target. There are substantial

　　differences among consumers with similar demographic

　　(35) characteristics. Even with all the past decade’s advances

　　in information technology, direct selling of consumer

　　goods is rare, and mass marketing—a marketing

　　approach that aims at a wide audience—remains the

　　only economically feasible mode. Unfortunately, there

　　(40) are few media that allow the marketer to direct a

　　marketing program exclusively to the program target.

　　Inevitably, people get exposed to a great deal of

　　marketing for products in which they have no interest

　　and so they become annoyed.
