What is customer segmentation?
Customer segmentation is a process of discovering groups of customers that have common characteristics. Grouping their customers, companies can better understand their specific needs and preferences and as such, create customized sales strategies, service levels, ... rather than treating them all the same.
Creating customer segments requires collecting information such as:
- Socio-demographic characteristics
- Customer behavior
- Sales history
- ...
By combining all the information available, we can apply a machine learning technique called cluster analysis. This technique discovers segments with similar characteristics and as such, creates customer groups.
