*In some cases, there will be only one target segment

Customer segmentation is a process of identifying homogeneous groups of customers. Once customers have been segmented, a company chooses target segments and approaches each segment with a value proposition that meets the segment’s needs.

•Each customer segment describes a homogeneous group of customers

Segment customers(existing and potential)

Choose target segments*

Create value propositionfor each target segment

Determine profit potential

•Target segments are the most attractive customer segments for a given company to focus on

•A value proposition is the combination of product, service, and delivery offered to the customer

•The potential profit from serving the target segments with proposed value propositions must be determined

The Process

Customer segmentation is valuable because all customers are not created equal.

•Each customer segment has a unique set of needs and requires its own value proposition

•The profit potential differs by customer segment

Customer segmentation helps companies focus scarce resources where they can be most leveraged

Monitor caseteams have used customer segmentation to:

• Identify gaps or redundancies in the product portfolio

• Screen out unacceptable new products

• Choose product features

• Determine product pricing

• Establish appropriate service options

• Determine optimal distribution strategy

• Advise on advertising strategy

Applications (1 of 2)

•A large European beer manufacturer was faced with increasing

competition and low market growth. Monitor used segmentation

to identify product portfolio gaps and determine optimal

positioning for new and existing brands. This resulted in an 8%

market share increase.

•An international cosmetics company wanted to identify

opportunities in the high growth skin care market. A Monitor

team identified unmet consumer needs for anti-aging creams

and proposed an optimal strategy for targeting the appropriate

customers. This resulted in approximately $145MM in value

creation.

Monitor ’s customer segmentation work has brought significant results for

many clients. Examples of our work include:

Needs-based Behavioral Demographic

Type of data

used to

segment:

Examples: • Value high service

over low price

• Value low price over

high convenience

• Value brand name

over low price

• Buy on sale only vs.

at full price

• Behaviors (e.g.,

purchasing

patterns, usage

patterns)

• Use ATM vs. use

branch

• Shop weekly vs.

monthly for

groceries

• Drink coffee vs. do

not drink coffee

• Demographics

(e.g., age, income,

• Young vs. old

• High income vs. low

income

• Home owners vs.

• Descriptive, not

Needs-based segmentation is the most time consuming to execute, but also

the most valuable. Most of Monitor ’s work involves needs-based

segmentation.

Comparison of Segmentation Methods

16Copyright © 2012 Monitor Company Group, L.P. — Confidential — LAX

• Make a complete list

of potential customer

and non-customer

needs

– focus groups or a

small number of

unprompted

customer

interviews

– brainstorming

– previous client

work or Monitor

research

Create a needs list Collect data

Conduct Factor/

Cluster analysis to

determine statistical

segments

Steps: • Ask a representative

sample of customers

and non-customers

a battery of

questions designed

to gauge their needs

concerning a

product/service

• Customers and

non-customers are

placed into

segments based

on their responses

to the key

variables that drive

purchase behavior

Defining customer groups in a needs-based segmentation begins

with identifying the likely customer and non-customer needs.

Needs-Based Segmentation

17Copyright © 2012 Monitor Company Group, L.P. — Confidential — LAX

17

• The Monitor Research and Data Analysis Group in Shanghai, Boston and/or

London should be contacted when running a needs-based segmentation to

ensure proper, statistically valid analysis.

• These tools could generate a number of statistically valid answers. In that

case, the segmentation options must then be screened using business

judgement.

Factor Analysis and Cluster Analysis are statistical tools used to

determine appropriate needs-based customer segments.

Factor/Cluster Analysis

18Copyright © 2012 Monitor Company Group, L.P. — Confidential — LAX

There are two methodologies for segmenting a database of

behavioral or demographic information.

CHAID - an analytical tool that uses

the Chi-Square statistic to find the

drivers of a dependent variable80/20

Process:

Statistical

validity:

Drawbacks:

• Divide customers according to their

profitability.

• Hypothesize as to the variables that

drive profitability. Combine variables to

create segments.

• Low

• Iterative, manual process

• Requires solid intuition

• Risks leaving out important

variables

• Does not address causation

• Choose dependent variable (e.g.,

profit), hypothesize as to the

segmentation variables, collect data on

variables, run CHAID, reality check

results, and create segments based on

the CHAID

• High

• Process requires contacting the

Monitor Research and Data

Analysis Group for software/

statistical expertise in conducting

CHAID analysis

Behavioral and Demographic Segmentation

19Copyright © 2012 Monitor Company Group, L.P. — Confidential — LAX

19

• CHAID analysis determines and ranks all of the statistically significant drivers of a

chosen dependent variable (e.g., profit, retention, productivity)

• Specifically, it groups independent variables into subgroups

– independent variables are categorized according to their statistical significance

(e.g., store location, age)

– CHAID identifies interactions/effects between variables

– CHAID yields subgroups which are statistically significant and MECE

CHAID is a statistically robust method used to segment a

demographic or behavioral database.

CHAID

20Copyright © 2012 Monitor Company Group, L.P. — Confidential — LAX

• Meaningful - there should be enough differentiation among segments such that each

segments seems unique

• MECE Analysis (Mutually Exclusive, Completely Exhaustive) - each customer should

belong to one, and only one, segment

• Measurable - clearly defined with a market share that can be quantified

• Substantial - there should be enough volume in a segment to merit analysis

• Actionable - we should be able to design a value proposition for each segment

Regardless of the type of segmentation used, the customer groups

determined by the segmentation process must have the following

characteristics:

*Disguised client case

Situation:

Complication:

Question:

Hypothesis:

•The client, Highland Hotels, has high margins and is one of

the five largest hotel/conference center chains in Europe

•The market is coming to the end of a period of rapid growth

and Highland’s relative cost position is worse than its

competitors’

•How can Highland preserve its high margins in a slowing

market where it finds itself at a cost disadvantage?

•By offering a differentiated value proposition to the most

profitable customer segment, Highland can preserve its

high margins

Monitor used customer segmentation to determine

the target segments for Highland Hotels and to

create value propositions for those target segments.

Highland Hotels* - Background

36

Monitor conducted an 80/20 behavioral/demographic

segmentation for Highland Hotels.

High profit customers were segmented based on

their behavioral and demographic characteristics

A target segment was chosen based on its

attractiveness and Highland’s ability to serve it

Customers were divided into groups based on

their profitability

The behavioral and demographic drivers of

profitability were determined

A value proposition was created for the target

segment

• There are three main types of customer segmentation: -based, behavioral and demographic.

Needs-based segmentation is the most difficult to execute, but the most valuable. Most of

Monitor ’s work involves needs-based segmentation

– needs-based segmentation involves creating a list of needs, collecting data, and conducting

Factor/Cluster analysis to identify segments

– there are two methodologies for segmenting a database of behavioral or demographic

information

the 80/20 method involves dividing customers according to their profitability,

hypothesizing as to the variables that drive profitability, and combining variables to create

segments

the CHAID method involves choosing a dependent variable, hypothesizing as to the

segmentation variables, collecting data, running the CHAID, reality checking the results,

and creating segments

• Regardless of the type of segmentation used, the resulting segments must be meaningful,

MECE, measurable, substantial, and actionable

Customer Segmentation Steps

Types of Segmentation

• Customer segmentation involves separating customers (existing and potential) into

homogeneous groups, choosing target segments (or one target segments), creating value

propositions for each target segment, and determining the profit potential of serving the target

segments with the proposed value propositions

Key Takeaways (1 of 2)

44Copyright © 2012 Monitor Company Group, L.P. — Confidential — LAX

44

• Target segments are chosen based on their potential profitability and the

client’s ability to serve the segments in a differentiated way

• Determining the profit potential of serving the target segments with the

proposed value propositions consists of calculating the revenue and cost

impact of serving both current and new target customers

• The three major elements of a value proposition are product, service, and

distribution

Target Segments

Applications

• Customer segmentation, done properly, helps companies focus scarce

resources where they can be most leveraged

• Monitor uses customer segmentation for both customer retention and

customer acquisition

Drawbacks:

• Divide customers according

to their profitability.

• Hypothesize as to the

variables that drive

profitability. Combine

variables to create segments.

• Low

• Iterative, manual process

• Requires solid intuition

• Risks leaving out important

variables

• Does not address causation

• Choose dependent variable

(e.g., profit), hypothesize as

to the segmentation

variables, run CHAID, reality

check results, and create

segments based on the

CHAID
