1 CRM and segmentation

CRM, or customer relationship management, is a system that helps you manage your interactions with your current and potential customers. CRM can collect, store, and analyze various types of data about your customers, such as their demographics, purchase history, feedback, preferences, and behavior. By using CRM, you can segment your customers into different categories based on these data points. For example, you can segment your customers by age, gender, location, income, spending patterns, loyalty, satisfaction, or needs.

CRM systems take segmentation a level deeper, too, because they allow you to segment customers based on their relationships (after all, that is what the R in CRM stands for!). If you want to see the people who work for companies that meet certain criteria, or people who are involved in a sales opportunity of a certain size, your CRM can help you easily find that information.

Segmentation is one of the most effective ways to reach a target market. Understanding specific persona profiles that define their buying behavior and preferences makes it easier to connect with these markets—and avoids having to spend time, money, and effort that often fails to deliver the results because the message is too broad or tries to connect with multiple personas. Considering the level of technology solutions available to target niche or homogeneous markets, business and marketing professionals owe it to themselves to spend the extra time and effort it takes to hone in on a specific market segment—and increase their chances for marketing success.

2 CRM and targeting

Once you have segmented your customers, you can use CRM to target them with personalized and relevant messages and offers. CRM can help you create and execute marketing campaigns that are tailored to each segment, using the channels and platforms that they prefer. For example, you can use CRM to send email newsletters, SMS alerts, social media ads, or web push notifications to your customers, depending on their preferences and behaviors. You can also use CRM to track and measure the performance of your campaigns, and adjust them accordingly.

Segmenting your database is critical to your marketing efforts. Sending out messaging for products that a contact doesn't need will lead them to opt out of future messaging.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of using a CRM system is that it brings all of your data into a single location. If your marketing campaigns and sales conversations and customer service interactions don't all feed into a single database, it will be nearly impossible for you to report across your customers' lifecycle, and you might be blind to gaps or duplications that exist in your processes. By housing all of your data in a CRM platform, you can streamline the way your teams work together and provide a seamless experience to your customers.

3 CRM segmentation methods

CRM offers many methods for segmenting customers, such as RFM analysis, CLV analysis, and behavioral segmentation. RFM analysis segments customers based on their recency, frequency, and monetary value, while CLV analysis segments customers based on their customer lifetime value. Behavioral segmentation, on the other hand, segments customers based on their actions and interactions with your business. By using these methods, you can identify your most valuable customers, prioritize them based on their profitability, and understand their needs and preferences. Additionally, you can create personalized recommendations, cross-sell and upsell opportunities, and loyalty programs.

HubSpot is noteworthy in that it was crafted from a unified codebase, not cobbled together through mergers and acquisitions. Because of this, the marketing, sales, and service tools within the HubSpot platform work together as a single systems, giving your teams a cohesive picture of the journey your customers go through so that they can help individual customers find their way.
