What does Mass Marketing attempt to achieve?

1. A personalized marketing approach

2. A focused strategy on niche markets

3. An appeal to a large, general group of consumers

4. A strategy for luxury branding

The correct answer is: An appeal to a large, general group of consumers

Mass marketing aims to appeal to a large, general group of consumers by promoting products or services to the widest audience possible. This approach is characterized by the development of a single marketing strategy that is intended to reach a broad base, without focusing on specific segments. The objective is to maximize exposure and sales by ensuring that the marketing message resonates with as many individuals as possible, regardless of their distinct preferences or characteristics. This strategy is often used for products that have universal appeal, where the goal is to sell to the highest number of consumers rather than tailoring messages for specific groups. It contrasts with segmented approaches that recognize and address the different needs or behaviors of various target markets.
