What pushes a consumer to make the purchasing decision might be the cosmetic benefits of the product, such as softer skin. Some might seek to make the purchase for its medicinal properties, such as the treatment of dry skin or acne.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dividing the consumer profile based on the benefits they gain from a product helps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/marketing-funnel-guide\/\">marketers funnel<\/a> the product characteristics that customers seek. <strong>This helps<\/strong><\/span><b> fine-tune your marketing efforts across different channels<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, this will give marketers valuable insights such as which feature or service is well received, how to improve the quality of products, what makes their products unique and better than competitors, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><b style=\"font-size: 1.3em; font-style: inherit;\">Customer loyalty-based segmentation<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer loyalty-based segmentation leverages a consumer&#8217;s loyalty to a brand, which is measured based on the number of purchases, customer loyalty reward programs, or the level of engagement a consumer has with a brand.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This segmentation approach helps marketers focus on loyal customers who repeatedly choose a brand and understand their behavior patterns to fine-tune the marketing efforts. The inputs gained during this process can help polish campaigns, improve the brand&#8217;s position, re-target and align end goals with the customer&#8217;s vision.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Important customer feedback is also gained during this process.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>A notable example of customer loyalty-based segmentation is<\/strong> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/customer-rewards-program\/\">rewards program<\/a> credit card companies offer.
