Schiffman & Kanuk argue that psychographic segmentation—rooted in consumer motivations and activities—often outperforms simple demographics. For example, “experiencers” (young, impulsive, risk-taking) require different marketing (pop-ups, viral challenges) than “makers” (DIY, value-conscious, practical). The 10th edition includes detailed case studies on how companies like Apple and Harley-Davidson built tribes around psychographic profiles. authored by Schiffman and Kanuk
