Technique Overview

Concentrated Marketing

Concentrated Marketing Definition

A concentrated market is one in which a firm pursues a large share of one or a few sub-markets (Kotler and Armstrong, 2009). It is a method that repositions products or companies into small, profitable and homogeneous market segments that have been largely ignored or neglected by others. This positioning is based on the integrated marketing concepts and distinctive competencies that the company possesses (Percy, 2008).
