Why Customer Segmentation Improves Your Business

At a very basic level, customer segmentation may consist of simple demographics, such as; age, gender, household composition and social class. Whilst easy to develop, this tends to be overly simplistic and fails to get to the true motivations and behaviours of your target audience.

This is why we prefer to develop more powerful, sophisticated approaches to ensure you have a unique and defensible view of the market.

Vision One has been curating inspiring insights for over 20 years in the UK and globally, from small-scale businesses to market leaders. We help brands to compete in the market and increase ROI, by streamlining and saving them time and energy to focus on what’s important. Segmentation has many benefits and helps companies with:

  • Expanding their current market share by optimising customer acquisition
  • Increasing the level of customer satisfaction, loyalty and retention
  • Decreasing costs by saving employee time and increasing profits through improved targeting
  • Producing a more efficient sales and marketing funnel
  • Generating greater cut-through communications that produce successful campaigns

Customer Segmentation Methods

The golden rule for any customer segmentation is to create something unique and tailored to you. Why? Very simply, if all companies use the same segments they will compete directly with each other and target the same customers with the same solutions. So think differently!

Behavioural Segmentation
Behavioural

Behavioural segmentation can be an effective solution – as people rarely change the way they do things. This could include behaviours such as shopping habits, usage behaviours (e.g. frequency, quantity, type), and even brand or product loyalty.

Psychographic Segmentation
Psychographic
Psychographic segmentation divides groups based on more unique characteristics.
This could include subconscious or conscious beliefs, motivations, and priorities to explain and predict consumer behaviour.
Demographics Segmentation
Demographic
Demographic segmentation effectively targets an audience based on their identification.
This could include age, gender, marital status, family size, income, education, social class, occupation, nationality and more.

B2B Segmentation & Firmographics

Unlike consumer segmentation, Business-to-business (B2B) companies will adopt a different approach to customer segmentation, typically using firmographic segmentation and roles and responsibilities to divide up the businesses in a market.

This is similar to demographic segmentation with individual consumers, but instead looks at the characteristics of companies that may become customers. Examples of data to look at include industry, revenue, number of employees and location.

It involves having employees who have bought to the concept and understand the power of having different segments to makes a company flourish. Ways that make this transition easier are:
