Customer Segmentation
A standard pillar of an effective marketing strategy, customer segmentation is simply the technique of dividing a company's customers into groups that share a similarity among customers in each group. The overarching goal of customer segmentation is to be able to make decisions about how to engage with customers in each of the segments in order to maximize both the value to the customer, and of each customer to the company. When carrying out customer segmentation, companies can separate consumers by personality traits, psychographic data, certain interests, and habits, as well as a host of other demographic factors, such as where they live, their income levels, and age bracket.
