Target Market is defined as the group to which you aim your marketing efforts. The more clearly you define and understand your market, the better you can market directly to that group. Talk their language, answer their problems, and show that your really “get” them and they are more likely to do business with you. Just because you market to one group however doesn’t mean you have to turn away business from another group.
