Abstract:
This paper provides a new approach to consumer segmentation, in which the aim is to reveal archetypes rather than segments per se. We outline the limitations of conventional segmentation approaches, and describe a method for extending such techniques to identify the presence of archetypes within segments. With reference to a case study this paper demonstrates the specific output of the archetype approach, and concludes with the method's implications for guiding communication strategy.
