Benefit Segmentation allows you to group your audience based on the value you offer them. Not every customer wants the same product or service from your brand. It is important to divide your audience based on the value they favor. You can develop an effective market strategy to showcase the product’s value to target specific customers.

For example, a company is planning to launch different types of sneakers. Some customers may value fit, utility, and quality, while others may be concerned about color and fashion. The company can segment customers in terms of their preferred value. It can target a segment by marketing the attribute that they prefer.

Marketers can identify the customers who will profit from their business. They will also ensure an increase in sales and profit for the company.
