Customer segmentation

Customer segmentation strategy

At equNorth, we believe effective customer segmentation is the foundation of personalised marketing, better customer experiences, and sustainable growth.

We build segmentation strategies in a data-led process that adapts to both B2B and B2C environments, grouping customers by shared traits such as industry, size, location, or behaviour, enabling more precise marketing, personalised sales, and targeted service.

By aligning content and campaigns to each segment’s needs, we help brands increase relevance, improve engagement, and drive conversions across every stage of the customer journey.

Benefits of customer segmentation

Customer segmentation helps brands deliver more relevant, effective marketing by understanding and addressing the unique needs of different audience groups.

Key benefits include:

Improved targeting to reach the right people with the right message, resulting in increased engagement and response rates.
Personalised experiences through tailored content, offers, and communications to match each segment’s needs and behaviours.
Higher conversion rates through reducing friction and by aligning messaging with where customers are in the journey.
Build trust and loyalty by demonstrating that you understand and genuinely care about your audience.
Focus time and budget on high-value or high-potential segments.

Our approach to customer segmentation

At equNorth, we take a multi-dimensional approach to customer segmentation to uncover what truly drives audience behaviour. We combine demographic and geographic insights with psychographic traits, such as values and motivations.

We analyse behavioural patterns, such as purchase history and content engagement, alongside lifecycle stage, to understand where customers are in their journey.

We also use needs-based segmentation to identify pain points and technographic data to tailor strategies to the tools and platforms customers use, ensuring every interaction is relevant, timely, and aligned to business goals.

A tailored approach for B2B and B2CToggle

We understand that B2B and B2C segmentation strategies require different approaches:

B2B Segmentation

In B2B environments, we focus on firmographic and behavioural indicators that influence buying decisions across multiple stakeholders. Our B2B segmentation includes:

  • Industry and vertical
  • Company size and revenue
  • Geographic location
  • Decision-making roles and processes
  • Technographic insights (CRM, CMS, ERP platforms used)
  • Customer lifecycle stage (lead, opportunity, client, lapsed)

This allows us to craft tailored strategies that engage the right decision-makers with relevant content, nurture key accounts, and support Account-Based Marketing (ABM) programs.

B2C Segmentation

For B2C brands, we focus on individual customer behaviours, preferences, and values. Our approach includes:

  • Demographic data (age, gender, income, education)
  • Geographic segmentation (region, city, climate relevance)
  • Psychographic profiling (interests, attitudes, lifestyle)
  • Behavioural segmentation (purchase history, browsing activity, frequency)
  • Needs-based segmentation (pain points, motivations)
  • Lifecycle segmentation (new, loyal, at-risk customers)

This enables brands to deliver more personalised product recommendations, offers, and messaging that increase relevance and drive conversions.
