Segmentation for Strategic Decisions

Segmenting audiences into discrete groups can be helpful when an organization is faced with strategic marketing questions such as:

  • Who are our best prospects?
  • Is there an opportunity to better address consumer needs?
  • How do we grow our customer base?
  • How do we encourage consumers to engage with us more or in different ways?

We offer several forms of segmentation analysis (attitudinal, behavioral, demographic) but our specialty is motivational segmentation using our means-end framework. It is heavily focused on personal needs, interests, style and motivation. Ultimately this research focuses on why people make the decisions they do.


Segmentation for Thought Leadership

Some find it helpful to demonstrate their own thought leadership in a topic or industry by conducting segmentation analysis designed to answer question such as:

  • How can we group people according to how they react to a situation or life event?
  • How do we create an interactive tool to encourage people to explore a product or solution?
  • How can we create personality profiles to show people what kind of shopper, investor, parent, planner, student, etc. they are?
