Abstract

Although the topic of market segmentation has been discussed extensively in the mainstream marketing literature, limited attention has been paid to segmentation for product strategy development in database marketing. In order to provide a framework for how the database is segmented for product strategy, this research undertook indepth interview and case studies to explore the process. Four main issues were developed for investigation including: what bases and variables, sequence of bases,
sources of information and method of segmentation were used during product development. The findings of this research showed that the database is segmented during two stages of product strategy development: product research and testing. The main bases used for research and testing is behavioural data stored in the firm's database. During research and testing of the product, the database is segmented mainly on behaviour with demographics being added in certain industries. Attitudinal data is merely used to understand the needs of behavioural segments rather than to segment database customers. The sequence of bases applied to egmentation for research and testing is usually that of behaviour followed by demographics. Furthermore, segmentation for idea generation, testing and research is based solely on data from a firm's internal database (to the exclusion of external databases) and only the 'a priori' segmentation method is applied to the database. The research showed that the industry type only impacted on the types of bases used but not on other aspects of segmentation.
