WHAT OUTCOMES DO YOU SEEK?

Customer Segmentation

Customer Segmentation divides the market into separate customer groups that share similar characteristics. The business can then customize products and services to groups that are most likely to buy them. Customer Segmentation is a way to identify unmet customer needs and underserved segments of the market. Prioritizing and focusing on customer segments gives companies the ability to develop powerful marketing and pricing strategies to maximize the allocation of resources for marketing, product development and delivery mechanisms.

We conduct market research on customer groups based on the following techniques:

  • Demographic — who they are (age, occupation, gender, etc.)
  • Behavioral — what they do (how many transactions in a year, how many different services or products used)
  • Psychographic — what they think (risk tolerance, time spent on purchase, level of sophistication, etc.)
