Target audienceA target audience is the intended audience or readership of a publication, advertisement, or other message catered specifically to said intended audience. In marketing and advertising, it is a particular group of consumer within the predetermined target market, identified as the targets or recipients for a particular advertisement or message. Businesses that have a wide target market will focus on a specific target audience for certain messages to send, such as The Body Shops Mother's Day advertisements, which were aimed at the children and spouses of women, rather than the whole market which would have included the women themselves.
Mass marketingMass marketing is a marketing strategy in which a firm decides to ignore market segment differences and appeal the whole market with one offer or one strategy, which supports the idea of broadcasting a message that will reach the largest number of people possible. Traditionally, mass marketing has focused on radio, television and newspapers as the media used to reach this broad audience. By reaching the largest audience possible, exposure to the product is maximized, and in theory this would directly correlate with a larger number of sales or buys into the product.
Gestion de la relation clientLa gestion de la relation client (GRC), ou gestion des relations avec la clientèle, est l'ensemble des outils et techniques destinés à tenir compte des souhaits et des attentes des clients et des prospects, afin de les satisfaire et de les fidéliser en leur offrant ou proposant des services. Les applications informatiques de la GRC sont des progiciels qui permettent de traiter directement avec le client, que ce soit sur le plan de la vente, du marketing ou du service, et que l'on regroupe souvent sous le terme de « front-office » par opposition aux outils de « back-office » que sont les progiciels de gestion intégrés (PGI).
