I looked it up in a dictionary. "target on"=to make something have an effect on a particular limited group or area.

You will be targeting the customers, not the product.

Like it or not it doesn't matter to me. I want to know if it's possible?

No. You target to not on. I will target to rich clients. A target is something that you aim at. You could say that you placed the target on the ground.

"We want to target more welfare on the poorest group in the society." "target on" is used in this sentence. Is it because it's a different contex?

[susiedq]

In the first example, you used a marketing buzzword: "Target" a specific audience, for example, customers or 12 year olds, or retirees, or young girls. The target for the new Porche sales is the wealthy executive.


In your second sentence, target does not have the same meaning.

"We want to target more welfare on the poorest group in the society."

This means "aim" or deliver.

The "on" is part of a prepositional phrase and does not go with target.


target / welfare
on / group
