CRM :
Understanding Customer Differences and
Customisation
Introduction
Market segmentation is the activity of dividing a broad consumer or business
market, normally consisting of existing and potential customers, into sub-groups of
consumers (known as segments) based on some type of shared characteristics.
The overall aim of segmentation is to identify high yield segments – that is, those
segments that are likely to be the most profitable or that have growth potential –
so that these can be selected for special attention (i.e. become target markets)
It is done on common characteristics such as shared needs, common interests,
similar lifestyles or even similar demographic profiles.
Definition
Market segmentation is the process of dividing up mass markets into groups with
similar needs and wants. The rationale for market segmentation is that in order to
achieve competitive advantage and superior performance.
What may be segments :
(1) Segments of industry demand,
(2) Target specific segments of demand, and
(3) Develop specific 'marketing mixes' for each targeted market segment.
B2B & B2C
Business-to-business (B2B) sellers might segment the market into different types
of businesses or countries.
Business-to-consumer (B2C) sellers might segment the market into demographic
segments, lifestyle segments, behavioural segments or any other meaningful
segment.
Market segmentation assumes that different market segments require different
marketing programs – that is, different offers, prices, promotion, distribution or
some combination of marketing variables
Segmentation → Targeting → Positioning
Segmentation comprises identifying the market to be segmented; identification,
selection, and application of bases to be used in that segmentation; and
development of profiles.
Targeting is the process of identifying the most attractive segments from the
segmentation stage, usually the ones most profitable for the business.
Positioning is the final process, and is the more business-orientated stage, where
the business must assess its competitive advantage and position itself in the
consumer's minds to be the more attractive option in these categories.

● Core Brand Promotion
● Online Value Proposition
● Messaging
● Online / Offline marketing mix
Positioning
● Functional Positioning is focused on the aspects of the products or services that
can fulfill consumers' needs or desires.
● Symbolic Positioning is based on the characteristics of the brand that fulfill
customers' self-esteem.
● Experiential positioning is based around the characteristics of the brands that
stimulate the sensory or emotional connection with the customers.
● A combination of the three is key to positioning the brand at a competitive
advantage to its immediate competition. Overall, positioning should provide better
value than competitors and communicate this differentiation in an effective way to
the consumer.
● Customer perceptions have a huge impact on the brands positioning in the
market.
