Grouping the Market Audience

Unethical practices in marketing can result in grouping the audience into various segments. Selective marketing may be used to discourage the demand arising from these so-called undesirable market segments or to disenfranchise them totally. Examples of unethical market exclusion may include the industry attitudes towards the gay, ethnic minority, and plus-size groups.
