socialFX

Marketing Metrix - Customer trail

Over 50% of the population use social media to varying degrees. SocialFX is a segmentation tool completely focused on identifying and segmenting medium to heavy users of social media.

The segmentation consists of 9 groups, however each group can be further segmented based on demographics and lifestyle selections.

One of the many applications of SocialFX is the ability to 'push' potential customers to a company's Facebook page, improving customer engagement and loyalty, as well as driving donations or sales. This can then be run in tandem with Facebook advertising.

The following is a brief overview of the 9 segments. For more detailed information please contact us on 0207 307 6191.
