What is segmentation?



Segmentation approach

Key features to look for


• Segmentation is the process of subdividing a population (or ‘market’) into distinct groups that share common features, eg: may behave in similar ways, or have similar needs or attitudes

• Helps us to consider and develop tailored approaches to different audience segments – helps us developed ‘valued products and services’ specifically for them

• Can help in addressing challenging inequalities – Some groups with greatest needs can respond less well to traditional communications type approaches – they may also be under-served or not-well-served by existing services

• Enables us to consider how to prioritise people/groups that will be key to achieving programme aims and objectives

MESSAGE

“Don’t sniff glue or aerosols,they can kill you”

How terrifying, I won’t be

doing that!

So what

?Hmm, I didn’t

know you could sniff glue – I’ll give

that a try!

It’s a kids drug, I

wouldn’t be seen dead doing that.


Break down the audience into clusters with tailored interventions for each group

• Ideally, each consumer should be treated differently and made a unique offering.

• This isn’t practical, so consumers are grouped according to similarity of needs/desires.

• Research is used to understand how different people are responding to an issue

– what ‘moves and motivates’ them

• Service, product and message design needs to target these clusters

How to prioritise segments

Donovan’s TARPARE approach

T Total number of persons in the segment; AR Proportion of At Risk persons in the segment; P Persuade-ability of the target audience; A Accessibility of the target audience; R Resources required to meet the needs of the target

audience;E Equity, social justice considerations.


Segmentation: attitudinal, behavioural

Attitudes and beliefs:

• “I am more confident when I’ve had a drink”

• “ a drink helps me relax”

• “my drinking doesn’t harm me in any way”

Behavioural: how often; with who; when; influences of routines; where; what
