What is customer segmentation?

The process of dividing your customers into different groups or cohorts based on certain variables for a predetermined purpose of managing each group differentially is considered the art and science of customer segmentation.

How has the concept of segmentation evolved over the last 30 years?

Over the past 50 years, segmentation has gone through many evolutionary cycles. When it was introduced in the 1960s, early customer segmentation approaches centered around variables like demographics and psychographics. Over time, many new ways of segmenting customers were found to be useful, giving rise to popular approaches like attitudinal segmentation, behavioral segmentation, needs-based segmentation, decision-based segmentation, etc.

What are the different ways brands can segment their customers?

Customer segmentation can be done in a variety of ways. Market research surveys can be used to segment a small population of customers first and then data from the survey can be projected to larger databases to assign each customer into a specific segment. Survey based segmentation typically involves a combination of variables like attitudes, beliefs, needs, brand awareness/usage, demographics - anything that fits in a survey!

Alternatively, real-world data on customers can also be used to create a customer segmentation schema. Behavioral segmentation can be created using usage or purchase data, and demographic and psychographic segments can be created using third-party data from companies like Axiom, Experian, etc.

Are some ways of customer segmentation better than others?

The ideal segmentation for any brand results in clearly differentiated segments of customers and explains why customers behave in different ways. This allows the brand to implement behavioral segmentation marketing through different marketing channels and communication vehicles with messages most appropriate for each segment.

  1. Behavioral segmentation: This is generally more actionable from a targeting standpoint and is more reliable than market research-based segmentation to implement behavioral segmentation marketing. However, behavioral segmentation typically falls short in explaining why different customer segments have different behaviors. Market research-based customer segmentation is typically more insightful in explaining differences between segments and can create more complete and comprehensive segment profiles.
  2. Multi-dimensional customer segmentation: Many brands utilize this form of segmentation approach that combines data-driven behavioral segmentation with market research-driven insight-heavy segmentation. Using a hybrid approach allows a more actionable segmentation to be created.
  3. Attitudinal segmentation: Segmenting customers based on attitudes and needs has slowly been losing favor over time because neither one tends to correlate with actual customer behavior in the marketplace and cannot be easily used to identify customers in different attitudinal segments. Even though attitudes can be used to create reasonably differentiated customer segments, if customer behaviors of the segments are not clearly differentiated, then the segmentation is not very actionable.
  4. Decision-based segmentation: More recently, brands have had significant success in customer segmentation using behavioral science or decision heuristics science. This allows for customers to be segmented based on how they make decisions, which immediately explains behaviors. Decision-based segments can be significantly more actionable for brands and lead to marketing strategies that are directly designed to change the customer behaviors of their segments.

How can customer segmentation be used to create better marketing strategies?

Customer segmentation can be used to guide or inform almost every aspect of marketing planning and message delivery. Larger brands typically target all customer segments and use different behavioral segmentation marketing strategies and tactics for each segment. Smaller, niche brands typically focus their marketing efforts and message delivery on one to two segments only and spend their marketing dollars disproportionately on priority segments.

While segmentation can theoretically be used to create segment-based marketing strategies the most actionable application of segmentation is segment-based messaging. If brands can reach different segments through dedicated channels of communication, using segment-based messaging can immediately make a segmentation actionable and produce results in the marketplace.

Why is the concept of segment-based messaging so important?

Segment-based messaging or segment-based message delivery is one of the most actionable use cases of customer segmentation. Even if some of the behaviors of different segments overlap, as long as there are insights about how each segment makes decisions, behavioral segmentation marketing or messaging can be created and target message delivery for each segment in the marketplace.

Creating different brands, products, packaging, and pricing for each segment can take behavioral segmentation marketing to expert level, but requires significantly more time investment and commitment from brand teams and is operationally complex. Creating customized segment-based message delivery service, on the other hand, can be done quickly and tested in the marketplace without committing to significant investments.

How can messages be personalized to different segments

While customer segmentation can be created using behavioral data, segment-based messaging requires some insights into each customer segment’s behaviors. Often the research tools and processes used to identify customer insights for each segment don't translate directly into personalized message delivery.

Decision Heuristic science offers a powerful tool to brand marketers to both segment customers based on how they make decisions and then to create highly targeted and personalized message delivery for each segment. There are hundreds of decision heuristics that explain behavioral segmentation and the same heuristics can be used to craft specific language in a message to that segment. By using heuristics-based language in a message, brands can efficiently nudge customer decisions in the intended direction.

How are digital channels creating a new world of segment personalization?

As more advertising becomes digital and more ad-buying becomes programmatic, personalized message delivery service using segment-based messaging offers tremendous upside potential for brands to increase the return on investment on their advertising spend.

Brands are already using digital personas to segment customers for targeting purposes online. However, current digital persona creation methods do not know how to incorporate the decision heuristics that each customer segment uses to make purchase decisions.

Since digital message delivery service is often created and rendered dynamically using marketing automation systems, targeting each digital persona based on their decision heuristics with heuristics-based messaging offers significant upside potential for brands to capture customer preference and eventually market share.
