CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In this modern and dynamic world, marketers look at the overall market as a body consisting of many smaller parts whose elements have some common characteristics.They are mostly district from the entire market.  For marketers entering a market, the total market must be divided into segment or division being similar character of wants and need or behaviours. This therefore, results to designing its own program, which will be developed for its best satisfaction. Adirika, Ebuen Nnohu (1997:40) noted that most marketers are two large for an organization market.According to Edoga and Ani (200:18) market segmentation is defined as the process of dividing the total market into several relatively homogenous groups with similar product interest.  
This process according to them requires marketers to identify factors that effect purchasing decision so that consumer can be grouped accordingly. Adirika, Ebue and Nnohm (1997:30) sees marketing segmentation as the subdividing of a heterogeneous market into homogenous subset, groups of customers so that each  subset can conceivably be selected as a separate market target to be reach with a district marketing mix.  
They further noted that in practicing segmentation and consequently target marketing, organization endeavour to serve target markets that they are able to satisfy efficiently and effectively, and not just any group of buyers that seems to represent a sizeable market.These includes the marketing of drinks. Adirika (1992,2.9) believes that the battles for the heart, mind and pocket book of the customers will be won by a block by block store by purchase, by purchases bases.
