Ski Aus is a company that makes fashionable, high performance and expensive ski clothing (ski wear). Ski Aus has traditionally segmented the market by clothing type (e.g., ski pants, ski jackets, snow boots), age (adult, your children, teenagers), and skiing expertise level (amateur, intermediate, professional). However, research suggests that the company may benefit by segmenting the market for ski clothing based on consumer psychographics such as values and lifestyle.
