UNDIFFERENTIATED MARKETING
Undifferentiated marketing refers to an approach when a firm produces only one
product or product line and targets all of its customers with a single marketing
mix.
this marketing approach attempts to sell through persuading a wide audience.
Examples of mass marketing products are toothpastes, which are not made
especially for one consumer group or segment and are sold in huge quantities.
Other examples are furniture, artwork, automobiles, residential communities, cola
drinks and personal computers.
DIFFERENTIATED MARKETING
The differentiated marketing refers to the approach of the firms, which produce numerous
products with different marketing mixes. These products are designed to satisfy the smaller
segments. In this approach, instead of marketing one product with a single marketing program the
firm approaches the different consumer groups with products customized for each group.

CONCENTRATED MARKETING
The popular term for concentrated marketing is niche marketing. Another term for
the same is “Focused Market”. A niche market is a subset of the market on which
a specific product is focusing. Each niche market essentially defines specific
product features such as product design, price range, production quality and the
demographics that is intended to impact.
This approach is most suitable to smaller firms, which have lesser resources.

MICRO MARKETING
This is the narrowest approach of targeting. It is most effective technique for
small business users to sustain, build and grow their own brand. It targets the
potential customer at the very basic and personal level.
