Customer Segmentation 2.0: How to Do It More Efficiently

Anyone who has ever played a game of darts knows how challenging it can be to hit a bullseye. Even harder–hitting the coveted, high-value “Triple 20,” the small red spot halfway between the number 20 and the bullseye where you earn the maximum points per dart. Sure, it might be easier to close your eyes, hope for the best, and throw–but the odds are high that you won’t be lucky enough to hit your intended mark with that approach.

Loyalty marketing works in much the same way. The brands who launch campaigns with their eyes wide open and firmly set on a specific target are the brands who reach the right audience, at the right time, and with the right offer to drive positive buying behaviors and create a better customer experience and higher CLV. 

But how do you create complex customer segments without…the complexity? Read on to learn how a modern segment building solution will help you hit your marketing bullseye.

Better segmentation means better results

Have you ever gotten an email offer that was so far off base from your personal preferences that you thought it must be a joke? Maybe you’ve ordered the same vegetarian meal every week for the past three years, and suddenly you’re getting an email for surf and turf specials. From a consumer viewpoint, you likely felt that the brand that sent it didn’t know you at all or appreciate your investment in them. And if that’s the case, why should you keep spending your money with a company that hasn’t taken the time to learn your preferences and purchasing history? 

As a marketer, however, you can sympathize all too well with how complicated and time-consuming it can be to get to the right level of data you need to target the audience you want to reach. Until now, it has been challenging for marketers to combine and iterate on customer segments to drill down into the level of personalization they need to create a truly unique customer experience. But with the introduction of modern segmentation builders like Punchh Segments, you can now view, create, and combine complex customer segments in an intuitive, all-in-one flow and with nearly limitless levels of personalization.
