Consumer Profiling
• Customer profiling is a way to create a portrait of
your customers to help make design decisions
concerning your service.
• Your customers are broken down into groups of
customers sharing similar goals and characteristics
and each group is given a representative with a
photo, a name, and a description.
• Customer profiles are ‘customer types’, which are
generated to represent the typical users of a product
or service and are used to help the project team
make customer-centred decisions without confusing
the project scope with personal opinion.
Consumer Profiling
• A customer profile, or a consumer profile, is a
detailed description of your current customers. In a
customer profile, you’d identify purchasing
behaviours, pain points, psychographic data, and
demographic data with the intent of targeting similar
customers in your sales and marketing campaigns.
• If you don’t create customer profiles, you risk
marketing to a nondescript audience, which can lead
to wasted time and closed-lost deals. Defining your
ideal customers will help you identify the attributes
and purchasing behaviours of the customers whose
business you’ve already won.
• Customer profiles are created from the pool of
customers you already have rather than coming up
with ideal and imaginary attributes.

Consumers in Indian Market
Indian market has three segments :
• The first comprises the top end with the mindset: “I pay more to get more”,
where the purchase is driven by the emotional surplus that the consumer
experiences.
• The second is the mid-level which thinks: “I get good value at a reasonable price”.
• Third is the large block at the bottom which says: “I pay less and I get less” and is
totally satisfied with that.
Profiling of Consumers
• Assignment
Evaluating the
Consumers
• All businesses look for good customers.
• How to know whether the customer who has come to
you or approached you is ‘Good’ or not can be tricky
• To find the ‘Good’ customer, one needs to evaluate
the consumers from the target market.
• Define your ideal consumer- Once you understand
the type of client you prefer to work with, you can
target that type of client in your marketing. Also, you
can use your ideal client profile to evaluate potential
clients

Significance of Market Segmentation
• Helps to define and better understand your target audiences and ideal customers.
• Allows you to identify the right market for your products and effectively target your
marketing.
• Offer more precisely targeted advertising options and customise content for
different audience groups.
• Allows you to target your content to the right people in the right way rather than
targeting your entire audience with a generic message.
• This helps increase the chances of people engaging with your ad or content,
resulting in more efficient campaigns and improved return on investment (ROI).
