Marketing segmentation of the elderly market
Spěváková, Kristýna ; Zezulková, Markéta (advisor) ; Halada, Jan (referee)
(Abstract) The bachelor thesis deals with the issue of marketing segmentation with a focus on the population over 55 years of age. First part of the thesis conveys the theoretical framework of this phenomenon, where key segmentation approaches are presented and segmentation itself is incorporated into a wider strategic framework along with targeting and positioning. At the same time, current topics and debates within the marketing segmentation are elaborated, with the emphasis on the controversy over the validity of the age-based segmentation of the elderly market. The practical part presents author's research based on data from the MML-TGI database, which aims at revealing the differences between the cohorts of the older population and at the same time it aims at characterizing these cohorts. Finally, another mission of the research is to confirm the assumption that the segmentation of the elderly population with age as an exclusive segmentation criterion without recognizing various differences between members of this group is not appropriate.

Using New Technologies in Healthy Lifestyle Interventions Targeted at Children: The Case of the Netherlands
Háša, Marek ; Zezulková, Markéta (advisor) ; Klimeš, David (referee)
New technologies such as social media or mobile games are often listed among the main contributors to the ever-increasing obesity rates among children. Paradoxically, the same technologies also bring potential to enhance the effectivity of healthy lifestyle interventions targeted at children. This thesis investigated the approach of the creators of such interventions towards the use of new technologies. The author devoted his attention to downstream social marketing interventions realised in the Netherlands because of the country's low youth obesity rates and exceptional position in the latest innovation rankings. The central objective of this instrumental multiple case study research was to reveal the benefits and limitations of the researched practice as perceived by the interventions' creators. Studying available documents and conducting four semi-structured interviews with the creators enabled the author to reconstruct the contexts and strategies of four Dutch healthy lifestyle interventions promoting exercise and healthy sleep and nutrition among children. The results indicated that the creators indeed regarded new technologies as a threat to children's physical and mental well-being; nevertheless, they also accepted them as an inevitable part of today's media environment and aimed to...
