Customer Segmentation Tools

Customer segmentation is a marketing practice that divides customers into small groups of individuals who share similar characteristics such as gender, age, demographics, location, spending habits, etc. Organizations that use customer segmentation tools collect data and integrate data from various sources. They also utilize data analysis for segmentation. Of course, customer segmentation tools can only go so far, because they only provide views of customers in broad contexts. NGDATA’s AI-powered CDP goes beyond customer segmentation tools and drills down to the level of the individual customer. NGDATA is for those organizations that prefer to work in the segment of one, rather than in terms of broad segments at a single point in time.

Benefits of Customer Data Segmentation Tools

Customer segmentation tools are useful for companies that previously had not attempted to target customers. In fact, Venturebeat determined that more than 70% of marketing automation users segment their audience. Identifying unmet customer needs and under-served segments can give companies a competitive edge by enabling them to tailor offerings to the segments that are most profitable. Prioritizing enables companies to develop marketing campaigns to get more value from customers. Customer segmentation tools also reduce risk for companies because they make base their marketing decisions on data analysis.

The basic benefits of customer segmentation include

More efficient advertising, which leads to cost reduction
Giving companies a new focus with each new segment
Concentrated distribution
Precise, tailored branding
Increased revenue
Increased customer retention
Narrowed business focus

NGDATA’s CDP is rooted in segmentation for these reasons; however, it is more advanced and sophisticated than traditional customer segmentation tools to deliver individualized customer intelligence that enables companies to communicate via a completely customer-centric approach.

Disadvantages of Relying on Traditional Customer Data Segmentation Tools

Traditional customer segmentation tools have their limitations; they cannot provide the single view of your customers because your data remains in silos and the tools lack the ability to match various interactions to a unique customer. This means that organizations that rely on traditional customer segmentation tools run the risk of misinterpreting the data because they do not have a real-time view of their customers on an individual basis. They also have more difficulty achieving personalization because they do not have a true single customer view. Hence, companies that rely on traditional customer segmentation tools miss out on the higher ROI that truly personalized marketing delivers to organizations.

The Value of the Segment of One and NGDATA’s CDP

Today’s consumers are savvy. They know companies are collecting more data about them than ever before, and they expect to receive highly personalized offers as a result. They also expect relevant interactions with companies, which means organizations must be delivering the right offers at the right time to every customer. Marketing campaigns that rely on traditional customer segmentation tools are at an automatic disadvantage because they utilize generalized information rather than the detailed, dynamic information on each individual that NGDATA’s AI-powered CDP delivers.

The NGDATA CDP is the answer to the limitations of traditional customer segmentation tools because it enables you to achieve one-to-one marketing easily. You will know your customers’ propensities and be better equipped to provide exceptional customer experience by putting your customers first and achieving true personalization. The benefits of personalization have proven to be valuable, as companies that send personalized emails improve click-through rates by 14% and conversion rates by 10%, and personalized campaigns outperform traditional campaigns by generating higher response rates from recipients.

With the NGDATA CDP, organizations’ marketing campaigns become more effective over time because they have the detailed individual information on each of their customers that is based on the actual needs and desires of each customer.
