There are multiple components in marketing strategies, a prominent one being market segmentation. Market segmentation is the act of dividing up your target audience into smaller categories that share similar characteristics.
Market segmentation is a prevalent component of our tailored strategies and here’s why:
Market segmentation will support your overall marketing strategy and identify marketing efforts that will be effective for your brand. It’s advantageous for brands to have a solid foundation in their market segmentation in order to have a tailored message that will be received effectively by customers. Incorporating market segmentation goes beyond defining customer segments it leads to you having cohesive customer segments that results in every brand’s dream – customer retention.
There are different types of segmentation that can be applied in a strategy to help you understand how your target market will respond to your brand’s product and service.
This is one of the most effective methods of targeting specific customers. Information pertaining to age, gender, income and socio-economic type is factored in when it comes to demographic segmentation. Divvying up your target audience by demographics can help you in more ways than one. If you’re looking to launch a new product that’s male-centric, it will save your marketing budget and make for a more effective marketing campaign overall.
With psychographic segmentation it’s all about diving deep into the minds of your target audience. What are their interests, lifestyles, and goals? When done right, psychographic segmentation will allow for the creation of more quality content. Using this information and incorporating them into marketing messages will lead to a stronger following for your brand and in turn will help you to achieve every business owner’s dream, brand loyalty!
This type of segmentation focuses on the reactions and the buyer’s journey stage. Brand loyalty is a great example to analyse – Brand loyalty where consumers purchase from a brand over and over again, products a buying pattern that is consistent and can be considered a behavioural trait. How can you help to ensure that each customer has a unique experience? With behavioural segmentation, our team will optimise marketing campaigns to match your customers behavioural patterns.
Geographic Segmentation is one of the more simpler target market segmentation methods. Your target customers are divided up based on their geographic borders. The segments may include the cities they live in, whether it’s a rural or urban setting, even the climate of their area. For clothing brands, this is an incredibly helpful method to identify who needs cooler clothing versus warmer clothing.
Where demographic segmentation analyses individuals, firmographic segmentation looks at organisations. Think demographics for B2C market segmentation where factors such as company size, industry, number of employees and more are taken into consideration.
