What is Behavioral Segmentation?
Behavioral segmentation is one of the four types of marketing segmentation. It examines consumers’ decision-making processes and shopping activity.
Types of segmentation include the following:
- Behavioral, or decision-making process and shopping activity
- Psychographic, or intangible aspects related to how customers self-identify – for example, by social group or class
- Demographic, or criteria like age, income, education
- Geographic, or location of the customer group
Behavioral segmentation helps marketers to answer key questions, such as:
i. When do your customers buy?
You can group segments with the time they spend in the sales funnel, before a deal closes.
ii. What do your customers buy?
You can group segments by what they choose to purchase after engaging with your company. For example, customers who bought an additional service or upgrade after a 12-month subscription vs. those who canceled their subscription.
iii. Why do your customers buy?
This segmentation allows you to analyze price points to determine if that’s a deciding factor in consumers’ purchase decisions. Alternatively, you may identify other features that keep your loyal customers coming back.
For example, your rewards program may affect purchasing decisions. If so, you might determine that this is the most effective way to enhance your marketing efforts.

Examples of Behavioral Segmentation
Behavioral indicators help you see what customers want – and conversely, what turns them away from your brand. That makes it possible for you to do more of what works and less of what doesn’t.
These are some of the details you can analyze with behavioral segmentation:
- Purchasing behavior: What is the average cart size? Is the cart size steady, increasing, or going down?
- Benefits sought: What does the customer want? Is it utility, branding, or quick delivery? Do they buy more with a loyalty program or after specific messaging?
- Timing: When is the customer buying? Is it a monthly purchase, seasonal, or one-and-done?
- Customer journey: How long does your sales team have to nurture leads before deals close? What can you learn from the behavior patterns in the buyer’s journey?
- Customer satisfaction: What is the rate of return? How many customers sign up after experiencing a free trial?
- Customer loyalty: What is the length of the customer relationship? Are you keeping customers after the initial sale? What is your retention rate?
Behavioral segmentation helps you group customers, with the answers to these critical questions, so you know what goes into purchase behavior and what drives purchase decisions.
These examples illustrate how a behavioral segmentation strategy offers insight into your customers:
- Look more closely at the cohort of customers who make monthly purchases. Examine what they are buying and why. If one particular package attracts steady interest, perhaps a modest add-on, cross-sell, or upsell could also appeal to this group of people—and you can market to them through social media or e-commerce channels.
- Understanding data related to your retention rate can help reduce churn in this group of customers, increasing your long-term revenue.
