Customer segmentation is an important step in your business process. It allows you to be more agile and responsive to your prospects and customers. Faced with a given category, you will be able to adapt your message, your commercial and communication actions.
What is customer segmentation?
Segmentation is the operation that consists in dividing a population of individuals into homogeneous subsets or, into subsets sharing one or more common attributes. Each subset constitutes a segment.
Example :
You have a user base: it’s your population of individuals.
You segment your base according to the “Gender” attribute. You have created two segments: the female segment and the male segment.
The segments are here built with a single attribute: gender. But we can also create segments using several attributes. For example, the segment for men under 50. In fact, moreover, segments are always obtained by a combination of several attributes. The choice of relevant attributes and their combination sums up the art of customer segmentation and its difficulty.
