This PPT slide, part of the 27-slide Customer Segmentation and Targeting PowerPoint presentation, presents a balanced overview of customer segmentation, highlighting both its strengths and limitations. It begins with a section titled "HOW WE USE IT," which outlines the practical applications of segmentation in a business context. Key points include isolating market sections to define distinct strategic propositions, evaluating segments to identify target groups, and determining appropriate products and marketing strategies tailored to different segments. This approach aims to uncover niche opportunities and enhance the effectiveness of marketing efforts.
The strengths of segmentation are emphasized next. It enhances customer focus, allowing organizations to gain a clearer understanding of each segment's needs. This focused approach is noted to potentially increase revenue and margin, serving as a foundational element for other marketing actions.
On the flip side, the limitations section raises critical concerns. It points out the challenges in defining customer needs in actionable terms, which may not align with existing products and processes. A significant corporate commitment is required, and the costs can exceed those of a more general marketing strategy. The slide also warns against over-reliance on statistically significant segments, which could undermine industry experience and business sense. Lastly, it mentions the difficulty in accessing timely customer needs data, which can be time-consuming to gather.
Overall, this slide provides a comprehensive view of segmentation, making it clear that while it offers valuable insights, careful consideration of its limitations is essential for effective implementation.
