The Power of Segmentation

"Analyzing data in aggregate is a crime against humanity.” - Avinash Kaushik


The Power of Segmentation

Aggregate data works on the assumption that all site visitors are identical

User Segments

Segments users (and not just sessions) visiting your website or the

App

Sequence Filters

This allows for creating a sequence of filters across session to track

cross-visit user behaviour


Internal Search based segmentation What Products they are searching for? •  Airlines / Hotels •  Computer Accessories •  Brands •  Services •  Holiday Destinations


Identify top products being searched on website

• Design campaigns according to the products searched

•  Identify new opportunity – are there more searches from a particular location

www.xxxxxxxx.com/search=laptops


Engagement based segmentation

Are they casual lurkers or serious buyers? •  # of micro-steps they took

•  # of products viewed

•  How far did they go in the purchase path


Engagement based segmentation


Source based segmentation

1.  How many conversions did I get from the segment of users who first visited the site through a specific campaign

2.  How many subsequent visits did I get from users to computer accessories, those who first visited the site through a laptop campaign


Demographic based segmentation

What Age categories are doing well for you


Demographic based segmentation

What Gender categories are doing well for you
