Delivering the same broad message to each of your customers is a surefire way of flushing your marketing budget down the drain. After all, you don’t communicate with all the different people in your life — friends, coworkers, family members — in the exact same way, do you?
Similar to your real-life connections, your brands’ audiences likely differ when it comes to their expectations, needs, and preferred communication methods. That’s where audience segmentation comes in. It’s the process of dividing your audience into unique groups based on variables such as demographics, psychographics, and behaviors.
Trust us: It’s one of the most important parts of a good marketing strategy — and the best way to organize and deliver a personalized and relevant shopping experience.
As a quick refresher, here are four of the most common types of audience segmentation:
Examples:
Shoppers aged 18-35
Corporate buyers
Women with advanced degrees and making over $70K/year
Examples:
Vegans and vegetarians
Outdoor lovers (specifically rock climbing and mountain biking)
Deal-seeking shoppers on a hunt for the best price
Examples:
Shoppers based in large West Coast cities (e.g., Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland)
Shoppers located in Canada
Examples:
Cart abandoners
Return customer who has placed 2+ previous orders
Shoppers who have clicked on at least three pages
