EFFECTIVE COMMERCIAL STRATEGY The segmentation of markets helps to them specialists in marketing to define with more precision the needs and desires of the consumers. Is done the segmentation of markets for (3) three reasons Basic. The first, the segmentation allows identify groups of consumers with needs similar and analyze the features and the behavior of purchase of such groups. Second, the segmentation provides information that allows marketers to design blends marketing tailored to specific characteristics and desires of one or more segments. Third, the segmentation is in concordance with the concept of marketing: satisfaction of the needs and wishes of the consumer, to the same time that is meet them objectives of the company. These reasons for good segmentation can be summarized in five basic questions: 1. WHO? Which market segments should we pursue? 2. WHAT? What are they looking for in our types of services? 3. HOW? How do we develop our marketing programs to best fit their needs and wants? 4. WHERE? Where do we promote our services? 5. WHEN? When do we promote them?
EFFECTIVE COMMERCIAL EFFECTIVE COMMERCIAL STRATEGY STRATEGY The characteristics of spanish tourist market has strength and weakness elementes: Strengths: Spain has a wide offer of beaches with good waters and services Spain has a wide offer, capacity and variety of accomodation. Spain is recognized as a sun and sand destination, and is favorite among the Eropean middle classes. Spain has a wide complementary offer of leisure, culture and sport, and with a gastronomy of international prestige. The Spanish tourism has a high value of the quality-price relation. Appearance of new specialized operators, with business models adapted to the online channel and new technologies. There is a growing implantation of systems of assurance of the quality in the sector. Wakness: Age of a part of the hotel plant, especially in sun and sand tourism. Spanish tourism depends heavily on the German, British and French markets. The Spanish tourism has a weak positioning in the segments of the demand of high purchasing power. Spanish tourism has difficulties in developing new segments due to poor commercial and product management. There is little entrepreneurship in the development of new territories and products driven by public investments. There is high presence of foreign tour operators and limited size of nationals. Taking into account these characteristics we can develop a good commercial strategy answering the questions of the previous point.

THREE MAIN SEGMENTS Taking a view of the 2015 statistical results, we have choosen the following three segments in the spanish tourist marketing: COLLEGE STUDENTS. This segment is one of the most resistant to the crisis. However its under the national daily monetary expenditure with 51€/day. Inside this segment, the girl groups has special relevant that involve the 30% of the spanish women trips. Other feature of the segment are his first position in booking on line with the 74% of it. DINKIES. The word Dinki is the acronym of Double-Income-NoKids. These pairs without childs, with two parallel income sources, are a succulent piece of the cake. They spent 91€/day over the spanish average wich is in 70€. Nevertheless they have the lower percentage of spot replication. MICE. The international acronym MICE means: Meetings-Incentives-Conferences-Exhibitions. This segment should be divide in three parts: qualified workers, middle management & top executives. The most travellers are the middle managements but the top executives are those that use the hotel and the plane more times. http://www.hosteltur.com/199990_cuatro-segmentos-viajeros-lideres-turismo-espanol.html
THREE MAIN SEGMENTS COLLEGE STUDENTS This segment have no much money to travel but there are so many cheaps offers. For example, a few days in Ibiza is a great option to this segment because the Balearic Islands are a funny and wonderful destination. https://www.atrapalo.com/vuelos/malaga-ibiza_agpibz.html?gclid=CjwKEAiAqJjDBRCG5KK6hq_juDwSJABRm03hcDc23dVGP4TEvuaxnPRDtazGHRLdtI_9cd_lVxpZxoCU4Tw_wcB We think that the cheapest option, with a minimum of quality, is sleep in a campsite. Thus we can travel with no much money to one of the best place in Spain to have a rest. http://www.campingcalanova.com/es.html
THREE MAIN SEGMENTS DINKIS http://balneariodearchena.com/paquetes/estancia/?gclid=CjwKEAiAqJjDBRCG5KK6hq_juDwSJABRm03h OQuNjP9Gjtdjs1ohQLtFVBAQPMwNFiocgeEA73kwJxoCxdvw_wcB
THREE MAIN SEGMENTS One chill option for the couples could be a stay in a health resort like this in Archena, Murcia.
THREE MAIN SEGMENTS . http://es.groupalia.com/ofertas-viajes/hoteles-romanticos/dos-noches-ad-trencremallera-vall-nuria-pirineo.html# If the couple has an inconditional love but they are crazy about extrem sports, a few days in a ski resort like Vall de NĂşria in Girona, with chimney day ends, is probably the most romantic travel.
THREE MAIN SEGMENTS . MICE When you make a trip with trade purpose you also think in the chill time. If you choose a good product, you can make tourism on the break time. For example, any congress in Granada has the posibility of combine a magnificient space to hold your business activity like the “Palacio de Congresos� and a relevant tourist destination such as the Alhambra city.
The Granada Congress Palace with Saray Hotel behind and Vela tower. www.pcgr.org http://www.granadatur.com/
Main strategies COLLEGE STUDENTS One of the main strategy to do marketing around collegestudents will be approach to their area to get their attention, for example get inside of the social media, social network, making or proposing competitions by facebook like said this web page www.puromarketing.com so that the young people feel comfortable in their space, in this sense its more easier to catch tour attention, and pass on the product to the appropiate segment in this case will be the segment of college students DINKIES With this kind of people the comercial strategies are focused in tv ads, the social media, of course, and some others exclusive options such voyage-prive.es where they can live a luxury voyage. It´s usually that these types of pairs have a record on specialized pages when get the information of romantic travells. MICE Make trips with enterprise aim doesn´t have to be bored. Thus the corporations find nice spot to celebrate their business in travel agencies who complete the stay with touristic activities.
TOOLS USE College students: Product: Ibiza. Place: Campsite. Price: Low cost with some offers. Promotion: Social media as Youtube, Instagram etc. Dinkies: Product: Archena, Murcia. Place: Arche Thermal Spa. Price: Middle-high, because they have two salaries and 0 children. Promotion: Social media, websites, TV ads, Radio ads etc. Enterprises: Product: Granada. Place: Palacio de Congresos. Price: The prices are usually so spend whenever the business has been compensed. Promotion: They usually received promotion because they are sign up in websites of specials travels agencies.
POSITIONING UTILITY Through this marketing mix the brands have a positioning in the costumer´s mind when is thinking to buy. Some of them shall choose on one or other of this tools. For example, if our product is a musicfest to young people, we have to focus the effort in the social media promotion because they are using it almost all the time and we can achieve our target segment. With the couples with no childs, maybe a good option is sell a charmed place where only the love is sailing in the air. Finally, if our purchases are the people who travel by jobs reasons, we should be more attentive with the product which must be effective (and efficient as far as possible). Like we said before, this work is aimed to be the first in the client´s minds when are ready to buy. When you ponder on a fizzy drink, your mind draws a coke bottle in your brain. This is the target of the positioning.
TOOLS VALUE We can think that the used commercial instruments in each segment are accurate because they achieve to reach the target punter. Evidently, the new technologies such as social media and web pages are the most effective useful devices. But one could be more efficient than other and this depend on the type of customer. Thus we can see how the social media is the most important way to get arrive to young people as the college students because they are all the time looking and sharing posts. Furthermore, the TV ads are a good tool for the dinkies. Imagine a lovely couple watching a romantic movie and, in the spots time, they see a commercial about a romantic trip. This is the right stage to be on their minds. And finally, with the business travellers, the specialized webs are the right instrument since they have no time and look for a quick response. By this reason they are signed generally to these page newsletters and other warning devices to be knowledegeable.
