The art and science of identifying actionable groups of customers who can drive higher return on investment through personalized marketing, product development and other activation initiatives for priority targets.
Segmentation is key to delivering on the promise of customer centricity. While there are generally some universal needs that apply across segments, it is the distinctions between customers that provide the opportunity to become the first choice for some segments or situations.
Segmentation guides customer experience transformation and illuminates new markets by deeply understanding the demographic, psychographic, behavioral and occasion-based distinctions between groups of customers. Where available, we incorporate transactional data to enable accurate assessments of spending and market share.
We help our clients find and act upon the optimal pathways for growth, using a blend of quantitative and qualitative methods, paired with sophisticated analytics and strategic analysis.
Segmentation insights stimulate strategies and tactics to:
- Create differentiated customer experiences
- Identify innovation spaces within a category
- Enter new markets or launch new products
- Acquire new customers through delivering segment-optimized messages to the most capturable segments
- Retain existing customers and increase their lifetime value by better serving their unique needs
