Audience segmentation strategies that drive ROI

Increasingly, companies have felt the need to focus their efforts on building a precise set of customers who can relate and add value to their product. Even while publishing an ad campaign, the advertiser should have a clear picture of the audience and further classification of people into subgroups such as such as geographic location, gender, age, ethnicity, income demographics, communication behaviors and media use.

In simper terms, audience segmentation can help advertisers get worthy returns out of the ad campaigns that are run by them. That is precisely the reason, the advertisers are making the Ads available to people, who have the highest potential to create a positive impact on your business. Audience segmentation also holds the key to more refined targeting and a marketing strategy that is based on identifying subgroups within the target audience thus delivering a highly personalized messaging.

Here are some of the best practices that will help you plan the best audience segmentation for your Ad campaigns:

    • RealDevising A Practical Approach to Segmentation

The way in which you segment your audience should be highly practical in design and execution. You must ensure that your audience is of appropriate size to make targeting them advisable and worth the effort. On the other hand, having too many segments can make it problematic for you to manage and strategize for all of them. In an ideal scenario, maintaining around 5 to 8 segments has been found to deliver the best results.

    • Prioritizing the Goals

Since there is a high possibility to lose oneself when catering to the needs of clients, it is always paramount that the advertiser set up goals and prioritize them. Actions should be undertaken keeping the end goal in mind, that has been defined in the overall business plan. However, care must be taken to ensure that the process of prioritizing your goals is not leading to bias of any sorts as that can severely dent the success of the campaign.

    • Analytical Approach to Audience Segmentation

One must be ultra-careful about not segmenting audiences based on just gut feeling. Instead of that, advertisers should be taking assistance of analytics, to proceed with segmenting your audience. Looking at the analytics, would help you see the real picture of your audience. Based on that, you will be able to segment the audience according to their traits.

Audience segmentation allows businesses to achieve profitability by making the marketing message specific to their audience.
