Transactional data
§ High volume of purchases
§ Track customer purchase patterns
§ Limited customer demographic detail
§ Don’t know much, if anything, about prospects
House cards
§ Creditworthiness – but perhaps not a complete picture
§ Small segment of your overall customers
Third-party data
§ Attitudinal – but typically not WHO or WHERE they are
§ Geo-demographic – commodity data
You may have fragmented views of your customers…
Siloed Systems Have Only Part of the Picture

§ Not just ZIP+4 but now
Household-level
Syndicated Segmentation Framework
19
20. Confidential and Proprietary
Household Economics - A critical addition to the mix
Not All Segmentation Data is Created Equal
Syndicated segmentation typically
contains:
§ Age, demographics, lifestage,
geography,
§ Links to attitudinal & behavioral
survey information
§ …but they only tell a portion of the
story
Household economics data adds
value with estimated:
• Income from more sources
• Discretionary spending capacity
• Credit capacity
• Ability to pay
The interdependencies in household
economics are a major factor in
consumer behavior.
