One good example of segmentation in Pakistan is geographical segmentation. Some people open up retail shops in both the urban and the rural areas of Pakistan, but they offer different products in both the market segments. In the rural shops, they sell cheaper and lower quality goods whereas in the urban areas they sell high quality goods.
