3.1.1. Purpose
The purpose of customer segmentation is to divide a customer base into smaller
groups of individuals who share similar characteristics relevant to marketing. This
enables companies to tailor their marketing efforts and offerings to specific groups of
customers based on their unique needs and preferences. The primary objectives of
customer segmentation are:
To understand customer needs and behavior: Customer segmentation helps companies
gain insights into customer needs, behavior, and preferences, allowing them to better
understand their target audience.
To improve marketing effectiveness: By tailoring marketing efforts to specific
customer segments, companies can increase the relevance and effectiveness of their
marketing campaigns, resulting in higher response rates and conversion rates.
To develop targeted product offerings: Customer segmentation can inform the
development of new products and services that are specifically designed to meet the
needs of individual customer segments.
3.1.4. Overview
Customer segmentation is the process of dividing a customer base into smaller groups
of individuals who have similar needs and characteristics. The goal of customer
segmentation is to gain a deeper understanding of customer behavior and preferences,
and to use this information to design more effective marketing campaigns and
improve customer experiences.
Once the customer base has been segmented, companies can use the resulting
segments to design more effective marketing campaigns, allocate resources more
efficiently, and prioritize their efforts to target the segments that offer the greatest
potential for growth and profitability.
