A target market identifies the ____ to which a company markets its products and services.

customer group
distribution channels
sales strategy
market share

The correct answer is: customer group

A target market identifies the specific group of consumers that a company aims to sell its products and services to. By narrowing their focus on a particular customer demographic or segment, businesses can tailor their marketing efforts, products, and services to meet the unique preferences and needs of that group. Understanding the target market allows companies to increase their effectiveness in marketing campaigns and product development, as they can create offerings that resonate more closely with the intended audience. This strategic focus aids in efficient resource allocation and fostering stronger customer relationships, which ultimately enhances sales and brand loyalty. The other options refer to different aspects of business strategy. Distribution channels involve the methods or pathways used to deliver products to customers. A sales strategy encompasses the broader approach taken to sell and promote products, while market share relates to the percentage of an industry or market that a company controls compared to its competitors. These elements are essential for operations but do not define the characteristics of a target market.
