Lesson No. 4. TA/CP. Dividing the Target Audience into Client Segments. Drawing up a unique Value Proposition for each segment.

A startup usually makes a product “for everyone who needs it.” To save resources, you need to focus and deliver relevant messages to specific user groups. As a team, we determine who will use our product, divide the target audience into Client Segments, and create a unique CP for each. We write an offer - a unique selling Value Proposition to each client segment in the words of the consumer himself.

• Target Audience (TA) – Target Audience- these are those client segments (one or several) that a startup company chooses for itself.
• Client Segment (CS) is the process of dividing the Target Audience of the consumer market into parts (segments) according to certain characteristics in order to provide relevant Value Propositions.
• Unique Value Proposition (UVP) - this is a text that includes the competitive advantages that the consumer of the product receives. It is a promise of value to be delivered and acknowledged and a belief from the customer that value will be appealed and experienced.
