  • The behavioral target market focuses on occasions and degree of loyalty.
  • Determining a target market approach to sales has many benefits.
  • A geographic target market can include a city, state, or country.

• Target Cell Specificity

  • An XY fetus will develop along a female pathway if the target cells fail to respond to androgen.
  • In endocrinology, target cells can refer to the cells where hormones have their effect.
  • A target cell responds to a hormone because it bears receptors for the hormone.
  • A hormone may bind target cells in three general ways:
  • Endocrine action: the hormone is distributed in blood and binds to distant target cells.

• Arguments For and Against Inflation Targeting Policy Interventions

  • Inflation targeting is an economic policy in which a central bank publicly determines a target inflation rate and then attempts to steer actual inflation towards the target.
  • Inflation targeting sets consumers' expectations, making a certain inflation level easier to maintain.
  • On the other hand, some argue that the costs of inflation targeting exceed the benefits.
  • Adherents of market monetarism, for example, argue that targeting a nominal national income (nominal GDP) would be more effective than targeting inflation.
  • Argue that central banks should maintain inflation targets, Argue that central banks should not maintain inflation targets

• Shaping

  • Instead of rewarding only the target, or desired, behavior, the process of shaping involves the reinforcement of successive approximations of the target behavior.
  • The target behavior for the rat was to press a lever that would release food.
  • Then reinforce the response that more closely resembles the target behavior.
  • Next, begin to reinforce the response that even more closely resembles the target behavior.
  • Continue to reinforce closer and closer approximations of the target behavior.

• Selecting Target Markets

  • However, Kraft has formulated a different version of the Oreo to target consumers in China.
  • A well-defined target market is the first element to a marketing strategy.
  • A principal concept in target marketing is that those who are targeted show a strong affinity or brand loyalty to that particular brand.
  • Target marketing allows the marketer and sales team to customize their message to the targeted group of consumers in a more focused manner.
  • Kraft has formulated a different version of the Oreo to target consumers in China.

• Sales Forecast Input

  • Target revenue is the corresponding figure for dollar sales.
  • Target Volume = [Fixed costs + Target Profits] / Contribution per Unit
  • Target Revenue = Target Volume * Selling Price per Unit; or
  • Target Revenue = 100 * [ { Fixed Costs + Target Profits } / Contribution Margin ]
  • The purpose of profit-based sales target metrics is to ensure that marketing and sales objectives mesh with profit targets.

• Time Lags and Targets

  • The Fed uses operating targets and intermediate targets to reduce the problems with time lags.
  • Fed has more control over operating targets than intermediate targets.
  • The Fed uses three criteria to select an intermediate target.
  • Thus, the Fed would never select GDP as an intermediate target.
  • Therefore, M1 would not be a good intermediate target.

• Electron Microscopes

  • An electron microscope is a microscope that uses an electron beam to create an image of the target.
  • This idea is used in the electron microscope which is a type that uses electrons to create an image of the target.
  • This means that the beam of light which is partially transmitted through the target carries information about the inner structure of the target.
  • This electron beam is then passed through a very thin target.
  • Again, the regions in the target with higher densities stop the electrons more easily.
