Car insurance is a significant asset to the American people, and in present days Hispanic
Americans are also familiar with this insurance procedure. Hispanic Americans are familiar with
both offline and online services, and therefore they can appoint an agent that can easily
demonstrate the benefits of insurance both online and offline (Mora, 2014). The main aim of this
strategy is to convince the consumer group that car insurance not only provides safety of their
cars but on the other hand it also provides the corresponding security of their cars. With the help
of this strategy, the car insurance market will easily grow their business to the Hispanic
American consumer group.

Answer 1
“25 -up-and-comers” consumer segmentation best describes me because I am a 26 age college
graduate student having an idea of latest digital technology and searching for a better job in
future to achieve better success and to make own savings account. So, I belong to this consumer
group -Upper Mid (Scale) Younger Family Mix because up-and-comers belong to younger
families, some have children while others just planned to get married. These type of consumers
mainly lived in suburban areas and second cities. The consumers of this group are mainly
digitally connected college graduates who are fit with athletic activities and have an idea of latest
technology in every matter usually ages, 25 to 44 (Stewart, Rogers and Haque, 2015). While
some others are continuing their education with the hopes of purchasing a home with own
money, increasing their saving amounts and to achieve better success in the following years.
The lifestyle patterns and media traits that I should like to include in the existing list is simply
based on my consumption. These traits follows the opinions about any new product launch in the
Australian market. The attitudes towards any market aspects must be goods so that everybody
supports the attitude. There must be high-interest power and eager to know any new method of
technology which will benefit me in the future. The high amount of curious to know about new
trends and happenings in social media to become aware firstly from others, must keep patience to
understood negative views regarding any product matter and trying to solve it (Ryabov, 2016).

to know their trends regarding the market strategy in merging world (Alvarez, Dickson and
Hunter, 2014). This consumption segmentation tool helps the marketers to know their customers
very deeply and properly to understand their behaviors and assumptions regarding marketing.
Each segment ensures the marketers are not waste any resource at marketing level on the peoples
on the basis of the segment that never buys their products. Rather with the help of this consumer
segmentation tool, the marketers may apply specialized tools to analyzed and gather current data
based on those subgroups, then they can develop various different designed strategies to give
best results for each segment to meet their satisfaction.
Moreover, from the fact it is clear that without consumer segmentation tool, a company can
never apply its market strategy. The company gets various advantages such as a clear focus on
each consumer segments, increase in competitiveness, customer retention, better communication
with individuals of every segment, profitability increases, and market expansion. After analyzing
properly, I can say that the marketers get many bits of help from the consumer segmentation tool.
