Guest lecture on "Behavior-based customer segmentation" by Marco Wyler, Director gateB, for the CAS Digital Communication Excellence at the University of Applied Sciences Graubünden.

Challenge

Historically, customers have been segmented by sociodemographics. While this was a helpful starting point, it only gives you a bird’s eye view of your customer base. It doesn’t tell you which customers are most loyal to your brand, how your customers use your product or engage with your marketing, or even where they are in their customer journey. Hypothesis- and sociodemographic-based marketing personas fall short.

Solution

Take advantage of the potential of behavior-based customer segmentation. With our solution, you can visualize customers with similar behavior in a simple and easy-to-understand way, segment them according to their unique interests and interactions, and relevantly address them with the help of actionable personas. Our tool analyzes and visualizes the behavior and interaction data of your entire customer database. The behavioral segmentation it develops is then applied to each customer profile individually and stored in the corresponding system (e.g., CRM, ERP). Additionally, for each segment, there is a data-based persona description with strategy for customer-centered processing and targeted further development.


For effective customer segmentation, behavioral factors are much more crucial than socio-demographic characteristics. Our solution therefore analyzes the interaction and behavioral data from your overall customer base to provide you with relevant customer segments and actionable personas.
