Customers expect a personalized experience and marketers are clearly seeing the opportunity on marketing segmentation and personalization. In fact, personalized media programs led to improved response rates, increased sales and strong brand perceptions for 48% of marketers. Personalized emails drive 6 times the response rate over generic emails and a solid personalization strategy across channels can deliver 5 to 8 times the ROI on marketing spend.
What is Market Segmentation
Segmentation is the process of subdividing your customer-base or prospective market into defined groups that have common demographics, needs, interests, priorities, and/or regional characteristics. Segmentation enables marketers to implement personalized strategies that are highly relevant and targeted to each group – increasing overall campaign effectiveness.
