A soup company found its canned nacho cheese sauce was too spicy for Americans in the East and not spicy enough for those in the West and the Southwest. As a result, the company's plants in Texas and California produce a hotter nacho cheese sauce than is produced in its other plants. The company is using segmentation.

Geographic Segmentation.

Explanation:

Geographic segmentation is the marketing strategy in which parameters like countries, states, cities, villages, urban / rural, climatic conditions, density of population are considered before satisfying the need of the market in order to reach out to customers living in a similar region or area.Consumers that live in different geographic regions have different needs and want, so it is necessary that cultural characteristics are targeted to ensure efficient marketing.
