What is Segmentation and What Does it Offer Businesses?

Brands have a wide range of people they can market to but narrowing down the choices to sell to a specific type of consumer is what makes a conversion rate rise. Segmentation plays a huge role in that break down, by dividing consumers into profiles based on demographics, buying history, and geopatterns.

Demographics – One of the segment attributes that has the most variables is demographics. These variables include things such as:

• Age

• Gender

• Name

• Occupation

• Income Level

• Family Size

• And More

Utilizing these details to narrow your targeted audience margin is the defining feature for a precise marketing delivery.

Buying History – Every purchase decision that a consumer makes builds an identify of who they are as a customer. The history of a consumer consists of items such as:

• What brands they purchase

• What products they use

• How much they spend on specific items

• Times of day they shop

This type of information gives brands an idea of what a consumer wants, how they want it, and when they will buy it.

Geopatterns – Every consumer leaves a series of location data through their use of mobile phones. The data gives marketers an idea of:

• Where consumers shop

• How often they visit brick and mortar locations

• Which brands they prefer

• And more!
