Demographics in business plan

Question
What demographics should I include about my target market in my business plan? 
Answer
When you're selling to businesses, the demographics of target markets are broken down into business categories such as size (measured by sales or number of employees), industry, region, or other categories.

The segmentation is always strategic. Choose a segmentation scheme that helps you understand the market and develop meaningful marketing strategies, tactics, and programs.
