    Customer Segments:
    -There are five different types of customer segments: Mass, Niche, Segmented, Diversified and multi-sided platforms
    -Customers may be dived into groups based on common needs, common behaviors, or other attributes
    -Mass and Niche segments are opposites and segmented and diversified segments are similar but different
