What is a Target Market?
The traditionally accepted definition of a Target Market is "A specific group of consumers at which a company aims its products and services". Can these same time-honored business principles apply to today’s emerging web platform? Absolutely.
A target market for the web is your main audience, or a new group of visitors to drive to your website. If you know your target market up front, you will be able to tailor your internet marketing plan to maximize your return on investment, or ROI.

Categories to consider when defining your target market:
