Customer segmentation & advanced social network analysis for getting the maximum of your customer base
Customer segmentation used to be and will keep on being the first step for enterprises aiming to build strong relationships with their customers.

Different types of segmentation are used for supporting strategy development, relationship marketing & new product/service development. Most of the times these applications are applied to individually defined customers ignoring the dimension of strong relations that exist between relatives & friends as well as business partners & associates.

Social Network Analysis is the only way of quantifying the word-of-mouth effect especially in industries where strong relationships among customers can be captured and recorded such as telecommunications, email providers & financial institutions.

This presentation aims to share thoughts about combining segmentation to SNA in order to get into your actual customers’ DNA. Combining these social properties to individuals’ behavior can help an enterprise take its marketing to the next level.

The main topics that will be discussed are the following:
• Multiple Segmentation Techniques in Relationship Marketing
• ‘Social Network Analysis’ the new dimension in Relationship Marketing
• Combining Traditional Segmentation with SNA in order to get into your Customers’ DNA.
