For what can customer segmentation be used in handicrafts?

Correct answer: To decide suitable products and prices for different customers

Direct answer: Option A. Customer segmentation means dividing buyers into meaningful groups according to features such as age, income, location, taste, use and paying capacity. The reasoning is simple: different customers want different designs, sizes, quality levels and prices; therefore the artisan can develop suitable products and communicate with each group more effectively. Option A is correct because segmentation helps match products and prices with customer needs. Option B is wrong because segmentation is a marketing tool, not a method of stopping artisans from working. Option C is wrong because understanding different groups may lead to different products, not identical products for everyone. Option D is wrong because segmentation studies customers and markets; it has no purpose of hiding raw material. A useful exam cue is: segment the market, understand the group, then design, price and promote accordingly.
