Market Segmentation for Insurance Products

Close

THE BRIEF

An insurance company sought to enhance its market strategy by understanding the diverse needs and preferences of potential customers. The aim was to identify distinct market segments and tailor insurance products to better meet the specific needs of each segment, thereby increasing customer satisfaction and market share.

OUR APPROACH

To address the client’s objectives, we employed a combination of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with insurance customers:

  1. Quantitative Surveys: We conducted extensive quantitative surveys with 1,200+ insurance customers. These surveys collected data on various aspects of customer behavior, preferences, and needs, focusing on:
    • Demographics: Age, gender, income level, education, occupation, and family size.
    • Purchase Behavior:
    • Past purchase history, product usage, and frequency of interactions with the company.
    • Preferences: Desired product features, preferred communication channels, and service expectations.
    • ▪Satisfaction Levels: Overall satisfaction with existing insurance products and services.
  2. Qualitative Surveys: To complement the quantitative data, we conducted qualitative surveys through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with a subset of customers. These qualitative methods provided deeper insights into:
    • Customer motivations and decision-making processes.
    • Personal experiences and specific needs related to insurance products.
    • Challenges and pain points faced by customers during their interactions with the insurance provider.
  3. Segmentation Analysis: Using the data collected from both quantitative and qualitative surveys, we performed a detailed segmentation analysis to identify distinct market segments. This analysis considered various factors such as:
    • Demographics and psychographics.
    • Behavioral patterns and purchase behavior.
    • Geographic factors and regional preferences
  4. Persona Development: Based on the segmentation analysis, we created detailed customer personas for each market segment. These personas included:
    • Demographic profile: Age, gender, income level, etc.
    • Needs and Preferences: Specific insurance needs, preferred communication channels, and service expectations.
    • Pain Points: Common challenges and concerns faced by the segment.
    • Buying Behavior: Factors influencing purchase decisions, preferred product features, and typical buying journey
