Customer Segmentation and Targeting Model

About

The second largest chain of supermarkets in the United Kingdom desired a segmentation and targeting model for one of its branches to understand its customer base better and create more effective marketing campaigns. 

Challenge

A large supermarket has a wide range of products and services that appeal to different customer segments. However, the supermarket’s marketing campaigns are often generic and not targeted, leading to low response rates and wasted resources. The client needed a segmentation and targeting model to better understand its customer base and create more effective marketing campaigns. 

The segmentation and targeting model aimed to solve several problems that the supermarket faced, including: 

  • Lack of personalization: Marketing campaigns are often not personalized, leading to low engagement and response rates. 
  • Wasted resources: Generic marketing campaigns waste resources by targeting customers who are not interested in the products or services being promoted. 
  • Inefficient marketing: Without a segmentation and targeting model, the supermarket cannot efficiently identify and target specific customer segments with relevant promotions.
