Customer Segmentation
Click to Read FAQ's "The Plain Facts About Segmentation"

A good understanding of customer segmentation is an essential foundation for effective customer strategies. The idea is to determine the best groups or segments and a matching set of characteristics for each group, so you can target them with a finely tuned mix of marketing and sales programs. The trick is figuring out what these segments should be.

While there are many ways to segment customers, ASA uses a powerful clustering approach to segmentation. Clustering lets the data determine what the most natural groupings are. This approach has proven to be a very robust way to determine market and customer segments. In many cases, outcomes from cluster analysis challenge long-held beliefs about a company’s customer or market segments.

Typical benefits from customer segmentation include:
  • More cost effective marketing through tailored marketing programs
  • Cost savings by eliminating portions of campaigns that are poorly targeted
  • Higher operating efficiencies by focusing resources on the most productive segments
  • Higher customer satisfaction from programs that have more relevance to each segment
