Customer Segmentation is the process of dividing a customer base into distinct groups based on shared characteristics, behaviors, or needs. In B2B marketing, segmentation allows businesses to deliver more personalized and relevant messaging, leading to higher engagement, better conversions, and improved customer retention.
What Is Customer Segmentation?
Customer segmentation is a strategic marketing technique used to categorize leads or customers into smaller, meaningful groups. These segments are typically defined by attributes such as industry, company size, geography, buying behavior, or engagement level.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, segmentation enables tailored strategies that resonate with specific customer profiles — improving the efficiency and effectiveness of campaigns.
