Advanced Customer Segmentation Techniques
Treating every customer the same wastes marketing spend and misses the groups most likely to buy, stay or leave. Going well beyond simple demographic splits, the week covers behavioural, needs-based, value-based and psychographic segmentation and how to choose the right basis for a business question. You will apply RFM analysis, cluster analysis with k-means and hierarchical methods, and decision trees to group customers using transaction and engagement data. Sessions also cover data preparation, choosing variables, validating segments for stability and size, and turning statistical clusters into personas that marketing and sales teams can act on.
Hands-on exercises use spreadsheet and analytics tools on realistic retail, banking and telecoms datasets, so you build and test segments from raw data rather than just reading about them. You then design targeting, pricing and channel strategies for chosen segments and plan how to track their performance over time. Marketing analysts, CRM and insight managers, product managers and data-minded marketers are the intended audience. You will be able to build a defensible segmentation model, explain it to non-technical colleagues and connect it to campaigns that lift conversion and retention.
