not efficient predictors of future buyer behavior.

of segmentation—demographic segmentation—became popular. Under this philosophy, targets were defined as younger people, men, or families with children. Unfortunately, a number of recent studies have shown that demo- graphic variables such as age, sex, income, occupation, and race are, in general, poor predictors of behavior and, consequently, less than optimum bases for segmentation strategies. More recently, a third type of segmentation has come into increasing favor: volume segmentation. The so-called
