Hyper - segmentation remains an important
precursor to effective marketing, it's still an activity
that many brands fail to implement effectively
the arrival of hyper - segmentation may
be a step in to the unknown for some
brands - and a step too far for others -
but the potential benefits could be
considerable in terms of higher
conversions and more profitable sales.
Hyper - Segmentation
24. 24
Data warehousing allows the marketing team to breach silo walls and ensure that the
organization's most recent and valid data can be deployed effectively in facilitating
the segmentation process - communication between key stakeholders is vital and
cross-functional cooperation is a must.
To achieve effective hyper - segmentation, however, the organization needs to
allow data that is contained within the organization to be more readily
accessible to data users across the business.
