Market?

Segments

• Market segmentation is

a marketing strategy that involves dividing

a broad target market into subsets of

consumers who have common needs and

priorities, and then designing and

implementing strategies to target them.

allow you to better craft product/service

offering, value proposition & promotion

Personas?

Helps get you

into the mindset

so you can

ideate &

understand

what’s of

interest


Solutions

What’s the Diff?

• Segmentation

– Discrete data

– Slices based on

criteria such as

demographics,

psychographics, etc

– Rear facing

user may take. Reward harder

engagement with more points
