Criteria and Traits of Segmentation of Banking Services Consumers
Based on the analysis of the current state of the Russian financial market, the significance and goals of segmentation of consumers of financial services are determined. The authors identified various approaches to segmentation, both traditional ones based on the criteria that have been used by many financial organizations for a long time, and the new ones that have recently been applied in the marketing activity of various companies, are considered. Segmentation of clients by income allows a clear distinction to be drawn between different groups of clients of financial institutions and makes it possible to visualize their behavioral characteristics. Segmentation, based on the criteria of age and marital status, examines the various stages of the consumer’s life cycle and allows to take into account new needs and requirements associated with their change, to develop new financial services. The segmentation model of RBC Royal Bank (Royal Bank of Canada) takes into account both of the above approaches and allows us to identify the dependence of consumer behavior and the level of customer profitability on the stage of its life cycle. One of the most promising models of segmentation of consumers of banking services is based on the theory of generations. The authors provide examples that prove the success of the implementation of this approach by Russian banks. The multi-criteria segmentation proposed by the AdKit agency identifies 4 main groups of criteria: geographic and demographic parameters, financial parameters, personal preferences of consumers and other segmentation parameters. This approach is more relevant for the modern market, as it allows banks to choose for themselves several segments and more accurately target their marketing action. However, modern approaches to segmentation require the collection and analysis of a large amount of marketing information, which is possible only through the use of modern marketing information systems.
