MRKTG101 Individual Report 2

Segmentation, Targeting & Positioning (STP) Report

25% of Final Grade

Due: Friday, 24 April 2026, 11:59 PM NZT

This report builds on your first report (5Cs Analysis) and requires you to conduct a Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning (STP) analysis for your product idea.

While you may continue with the same product idea from your first report, you may choose a new idea if desired. If you reuse your product idea from your first report and it received a poor grade, you may need to adjust it to better meet pain/gain points. No extensions will be given if you regret your initial product choice.

Physical products are preferable, but you may also choose to market an intangible product (e.g., an app or technology) or a service.

Please submit your report (Microsoft Word Document or pdf) through Moodle, under “WK08 Assignment 2: STP Report – 25%” by Friday, 24 April at 11:59pm NZT. 

Note: Students who fail to submit their report to Moodle on time will be penalised as per the lateness penalty indicated on the paper outline.

Your grade and feedback will be released on Moodle two weeks after the due date.

Learning Objectives

1. Gain experience using STP analysis in a New Zealand business context
2. Practice forming charts/graphs of data that directly support your arguments
3. Show strong writing, APA 7^th, and presentation abilities

Your Task

You will write a maximum 6-page proposal (excluding references) presenting a STP analysis for your New Product idea. Your report should be structured with clear section headings/subheadings and include concise, well-organised content, such as through using bullet points where appropriate. Focus on your product idea NOT a New Zealand brand/company.

References should be placed on a separate seventh page and formatted according to APA 7^th edition.

Use 1.5 line spacing and a 12pt font, with an easy-to-read typeface such as Times New Roman.

Your report should cover the following under each heading:

1. Product Idea

• State a brand name for your product.
• Describe the product in one sentence.
• Clearly define the pain point it solves in 1-2 sentences.

2. New Zealand Overall Market Definition

• Define the New Zealand market using demographics, geography, and general behaviours.
• This section is about the entire market, not just your product’s market.
• Use secondary statistical data (e.g., Stats NZ, industry reports).

3. Definition of Two Potential NZ Market Segments

• Identify two distinct market segments that could face the pain point your business idea addresses.
• Give each segment a name.
• Use income levels, age groups, gender ratio, household type, locations, and consumer behaviour data.
• Present segments in comparison to the total NZ market (percentages, median differences, or visual charts).

4. Primary Target Market Selection

• Select one of the two segments as your primary target market.
• Justify your selection based on:
  • Identifiability – Can this group be easily defined based on demographics/behaviour?
  • Sufficiency – Is the group large enough and financially capable of supporting your business?
  • Stability – Will this group remain relevant over time?
  • Accessibility – Can you reach this group effectively through marketing and distribution?
• Use statistics, locations, and advertising/distribution details where necessary.

5. Primary Positioning for Your Idea

• Write a clear positioning statement using the following format:
  “[MY NEW PRODUCT] is the most [UNIQUE ADVANTAGE] in the [DEFINED MARKET FOR PRODUCT] because [REASON].”
• Create a positioning chart/perceptual map comparing your brand to competitors based on key points of differentiation.

6. Charts, Data Use & Referencing

• Include at least two original charts presenting key data.
• Charts must have:
  • Descriptive titles
  • Axis labels
  • Properly cited data sources

7. Writing & Presentation

• Professional structure (clear subheadings, bullet points, readable layout).
• Concise, precise writing (avoid long paragraphs or unnecessary filler text).
• No grammar/spelling errors.
• No screenshots or copied charts.
• Does not exceed 6 pages (excluding reference page).

Writing Style and Presentation

Ensure that your report has clear, professional writing (well-structured, concise, correct grammar), is well-formatted (uses subheadings, bullet points, readable font, consistent layout, & APA 7^th), and is a maximum of 6 pages (excluding references)

This section should tell us how you intend to pursue your research – in other words, what kind of data will you collect, how are you going to collect it, and how will it be analysed?

Overview For your first assignment, you will research how to evaluate stocks as an investment option and complete a company analysis using the provided template. You will start by selecting two companies to determine how free cash flow impacts their growth potential. Then you will select three competitors in the same industry to perform a company analysis. The point of this assignment is to practice finding and analyzing company financial information.

Instructions Step 1: Gather the financial information. Use one or more of the following sources: Yahoo Finance (Preferred Method): https://finance.yahoo.com Links to an external site. Search for your company. Select the Financials tab to view the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement. Morningstar: https://www.morningstar.com/stocks Links to an external site. SEC Filings (10-K, 10-Q, and other reports): https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchLinks to an external site. Company Investor Relations Website: Find financial reports under the Investor Relations section of the company’s website. D&B Hoovers (Industry Research): https://www.dnb.comLinks to an external site. Step 2: Complete the company analysis in the Company and Stock Analysis [EXCEL] template Download Company and Stock Analysis [EXCEL] template. Note: Select the correct tab (Week 3 – Company Analysis) at the bottom of the Excel document.

Determine the free cash flow for the last two most recent years for the two companies. Select one company on each of the two different domestic (U.S.) stock exchanges to review. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures. Explain how a company’s free cash flow affects its growth potential. Include the inferences you can draw from a company’s free cash flow. Complete the Company Analysis section, including the Industry and the names of the three companies. Complete the Income Statement section for each company’s Total Revenue, Gross Profit, Net Income, and/or EBITDA. Net Income is a generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP).

Calculate the following three ratios for each company and enter the results in the template (the formulas to calculate the ratios are provided in the template). Debt-to-Equity Ratio. Gross Margin.
