The company has already developed a variety of properties across Australia, including both residential and commercial buildings. But what type of property should they invest in developing and in which approximate location?
Use Marketing Theory (from your textbook or e-journals) to identify the relevant criteria to use when describing the people living in this postcode area. Basically the Marketing Theory you are addressing is the theory on segmentation and targeting. Basically the process you will be following is: Describe the population in the postcode area. What segments of consumers / people live in your postcode? How are their housing and related needs served? What types of dwellings and services like shopping centers / transport exist in the postcode? Is there a particular segment that Alpha can target? What would you recommend?
