Most basic marketing books will have a chapter
on market segmentation. Generally they provide a brief overview
of strategies and a wide array of examples. You could read Kotler,
P., Armstrong, G., Saunders, J. and Wong, V. (1999) Principles
of Marketing, 2nd Edition, New Jersey: Prentice Hall, chapter
9 to gain a deeper understanding of the various market segmentation
strategies.
The Loudon, D.L. and Della Bitta, A.J. (1993) Consumer Behaviour,
4th Edition, USA: McGraw Hill chapter on market segmentation will
give you a further understanding of how segments are measured.
