Article Abstract:

Marketers compartmentalize consumers into different segments in order to target them accordingly. However, today's consumers rarely fit into these categories for long periods of time, as their patterns change constantly. So, instead of looking for their differences and categorizing them according to demographics or psychographics, marketers should try to understand their similarities and what connects them to each other in their brand selection.
