Quantitative Market Segmentation Methods

Stage 1: Developmental Market Segmentation Research Survey

A developmental survey -- typically phone, or online survey -- that takes hypotheses from our qualitative market segmentation exploration, constructing the survey questionnaire to bracked the initial dimensions, measure their importance, and the positition of cometitive brands and cross-category brands along the dimensions. Product and brand concepts are used to refine the power of each market segmentation dimension to discriminate. Basic statistical analysis may be employed in this developmental stage.

Stage 2: Statistical Quantitative Market Segmentation Study

Based on Stage 1 results dimensions are further refined and pared to a small relevant set.

We implement a larger sample survey to allow perfomance of statistical measurement tools. These may include Latent Class Analysis ( LCA ), conjoint analysis, multiple regression, perceptual mapping, correspondence analysis and other multivariate techniques. Our approach to this stage is practical while maintaining statistical rigor. The results of this multi-stage approach yields data for specific market segmentation recommendations, and preliminary branding positioning recommendations. Here at FieldGlobal Market Research Pvt Ltd, we believe the best segmentation is one that gets as close as possible to meeting customers’ needs – after all, this is more likely to resonate with customers and is much more difficult for a competitor to copy. Thus, segmentation lies at the heart of all successful marketing campaigns; in other words, finding groups of people with common needs so that they can be targeted with the most appropriate product, service or marketing message that resonates with their specific needs. In most consumer markets, needs correspond to value. In other words, if consumers really need something, they will value it and pay for it. FieldGlobal Market Research Pvt Ltd can help your company not only identify different segments in your consumer markets but also create different customer value propositions so that you can more closely meet their needs.

The major benefits of segmentation are fourfold:

  • We deliver improved profitability through value-added pricing
  • Gain market share by targeted marketing
  • Differentiate your offering to the competition
  • Improve customer retention through providing a variety of offerings in line with a customer’s stage in their life-cycle (after all, needs change over time)
