Customer SegmentationClassify current and potential customers into meaningful groups

How well do you know your customers?

Your audience consists of people with various preferences and opinions and crafting marketing messages that speak to each one of them may appear to be a daunting challenge. Hanover Research finds commonalities among your customers by asking foundational questions about them. To keep pace with the evolving buyer, organizations need to know whom to target, what influences their decisions, and how to reach them. Buyer segmentation—breaking an audience into groups of buyers with similar characteristics and preferences—allows you to personalize your marketing messages to better communicate with different groups of customers. While successful buyer segmentation can support organizations in forging deeper relationships with their audience, effectively segmenting buyers can be a complex challenge.

Relying on advanced quantitative survey and data analytics methodologies, Hanover Research gathers behavioral, attitudinal, demographic, and psychographic data to generate unique groups through cluster analysis or decision-modeling, ensuring that your organization’s marketing messages are relevant across your entire audience.

Organizations that tailor product and service offerings to buyer segments see an average of 15% annual profit growth.

Betterworks Innovates Sales Outreach and Messaging with Hanover’s Support

We recently completed a series of projects with Hanover Research that have been extremely helpful for our sales outreach and messaging. First, we completed a survey of potential customers that helped us truly understand what our potential customers care most about—such as demonstrating a return on investment. And then we were able to extract some impactful proof points to demonstrate our impact through a series of interviews with our customers. Not only were we able to get some great insights, but we also got several quotes that were pre-approved for marketing purposes. The insights and content from these studies will be used in our outreach and marketing across our sales outreach over the coming year.
