GfK Consumer Segmentation

Prioritize your resources to maximize impact and ROI

Mastering consumer segmentation is fundamental to all businesses. It informs both strategy and tactics, from innovation and new product development through to sales, marketing, consumer communications channel strategy, pricing and product assortment. Our strategic segmentation process groups consumers by attitudes, behaviors, motivations, wants and needs, allowing you to target them with precision, giving you the best chance of winning customers. It can identify your strengths and weaknesses versus key competitors and increase your opportunities to succeed, and it can highlight groups who may be open to cross- or up-selling and help you reach them.
