Data Driven Market Segmentation for 2025

Market Segmentation Explained

At its core, market segmentation is all about breaking down a larger target market into smaller, more specific groups of customers who share similar traits—think demographics, interests, buying habits, locations, and more. By using segmentation, you can sharpen your focus and become a more effective target marketer.

Our approach to GIS customer and player market segmentation relies on a data-driven strategy that pulls from both internal and external sources, including:

• 1. Customer locational information
• 2. Profitability
• 3. Integration of third party data
• 4. Life cycle,
• 5. Discretionary income,
• 6. Enhanced geographic data
• 7. Economic Cohorts

Customer Data Enrichment

Customer data enrichment, also known as data enhancement, works hand in hand with data-driven market segmentation analysis. This powerful combination allows clients to zero in on specific customers and even non-customers who align with particular products and services, based on traits you might not currently be tracking. This could encompass aspects like life-cycle data, job roles, disposable income, how close they are to your offices, profitability, and much more. ,

Benefits of segmentation and data enrichment

Adoptins a data-driven approach means you're making informed decisions grounded in thorough data analysis and interpretation. It empowers clients to serve their customers more effectively, boost sales, streamline operations, and uncover new business opportunities. GISBanker has established relationships with several third party data providers, including Equifax, Claritas, Data Axle, Hoovers D&B, TransUnion, and Alesso Data.

Moreover, we have the experience and knowledge to select the best data for your project, and provide statistical and analytical assistance to help you create market driven segments, build profiles and models that describe your best customers and the relationship to your products and services.

In order to understand the target audience, we need to identify their demographics as well as their lifestyle patterns. As an example, we have used Equifax Economic Cohorts to append to customer records. This data contains critical household economic data including discretionary household income. With the Equifax data, there are 71 "Economic Cohorts" (market segments) with Key Indicators: Life stage, Income, Spending, and Credit. Each cluster will contain a Demographic Summary, Cluster Description, Economic Summary, Details Demographics Summary, Leisure and Interest Summary, Media Preferences, Attitude Summary and Life Style Summaries

Our proprietary segmentation methodology will incorporate the Equifax Economic Clusters, combine it with in-depth geographic analysis, and target those market segments most likely to achieve your objectives. This can include cross-selling existing customers, identifying existing customers with the potential to increase sales, and building lists of non-customers who meet the market segment profile and geographic location.

The following map is an example, after careful statistical analysis, correlating the market segment with account balance information and locational data and discretionary income data, shows the specific households of non-customers that are targets for this institution.

We help you enhance, synthesize and activate customer data, turn sophisticated insights into an understanding of customer needs, personalize the customer experience with the right messages in the right channels, and meaningfully measure performance to optimize marketing spend and customer value
