Segmentation Study Booklet

A segmentation study booklet uses your customer layers and customer profiles to create a comprehensive booklet that strings together a series of reports, maps, and charts with descriptive text that walks you through a thorough segmentation analysis.

The segmentation study booklet will help you answer basic questions about your customers and provide specific information that you should include in your business plans. Some of these fundamental marketing questions are Who are my target customers? Where do they live? What products and services would they buy? and What are the most effective strategies to build my customer base? Armed with this basic foundation, you can develop a variety of marketing and site selection tactics to meet your business objectives.
