Product
Product usage: A Goya manager once said, “In Latin America we are united by the language and separated by the bean” (lucas, 2009). Implying that customers can be effectively segmented by what they buy. Segmenting via purchase behavior, however, presents an incomplete picture and produces a segmentation solution that is not stable over time. Think about segmenting customers in the cell phone category based on what product they currently use. This segmentation solution would change every six months and thus hinder the creation of strategies that work over time. Marketers need to understand the motivation for why customers choose the model they do.
“We’ve built our company on maximizing our sales by neighborhood, and that approach has worked very well since 1936,”
