What is Segmentation?

  • Imagine a scenario where we want to run a SMS marketing campaign to attract more customers in the next quarter
  • Some customers like to see high discount
  • Some customers want to see a large collection of items
  • Some customers are fans of particular brands
  • Some customers are Male some are Female
  • Divide them based on their demographics, buying patterns and profile related attributes
  • One size doesn’t fit all
  • Divide the population in such a way that
  • Customers inside a group are homogeneous
  • Customers across groups are heterogeneous
  • Is there any statistical way of dividing them correctly based on the data
