What To Know About Behavioral Segmentation
Behavioral segmentation is a term that is commonly 
used in the industry of marketing. It involves the division 
of populations based on behavior. That is, the way in 
which a population responds to, knows or uses a 
product. The behaviors of consumers is often studied 
when it comes to marketing management because there 
are numerous considerations that most consumers take 
prior to making a decision about a product or service.
There are different forms of segmentation. Buying for 
occasions is one of the forms, as certain products are 
targeted based on occasions. There is also the benefits 
sought. There are numerous products that are targeted 
based on benefits sought by customers. Marketers are 
able to divide populations by the benefits that they seek 
from a product.
Loyalty is another form that is factored in. There are two 
primary ways in which businesses grow. They do this by 
collecting new consumers and retaining existing ones. 
The higher the loyalty a customer has for a service or 
product, the higher the consumer base is expected to 
increase. This is just one other behavior that most 
marketers tend to focus on. The strategies that are used 
for brand-loyal customers may differ from those applied 
for getting new customers.
Usage rate is another thing considered. In commercial 
and residential segments, usage can be presented in 
form of lesser, heavy or moderate. Certain customers 
may be targeted by their usage. For instance, beauty 
salons may target customers who typically use personal 
care products on a regular basis and not those who do 
not use them.
Another commonly applied segment is buyer readiness 
stage. In this, individuals are grouped according to 
readiness to buy products. This is especially useful for 
monitoring and formulation marketing communication 
strategies in order to get consumers to purchase a brand 
or product. There are six main stages in buyer readiness: 
awareness, knowledge, liking, preference, conviction, 
and purchase.
Any kind of product or service that is not targeted 
toward the entire population or masses may employ 
this. This is also beneficial for niche products. These 
items are known to focus on the wants and needs of 
customers. The main objective, with this and other 
forms of marketing, is to learn more about the consumer 
and use that knowledge in order to implement the best 
strategy for bringing in, and keeping, consumers. The 
strategy taken with this will vary from marketer to 
marketer, service to service, and product to product.
Generally speaking, this is a form of market 
segmentation that is more focused on behavioral 
patterns. This process divides consumers in the market 
into groups that are based on their responses, uses, 
attitudes and knowledge of products. It involves the 
close study of patterns that are displayed by consumers 
when they make buying decisions. This also allows 
producers to alter and adapt marketing strategies and 
approaches to fit certain groups.
Behavioral segmentation is employed in marketing as a 
way to target specific consumers. It is considered a more 
detailed form of market segmentation, which divides 
the market into different consumer groups with 
common needs. Through this division, more effective 
strategies can be made to target customers based on 
their desires and needs. With behavioral segmentation, 
great focus is placed on the behaviors or patterns of 
consumers while making purchases.
