Content segmentation is recognized as a good thing to do with your web content. The logic goes: “Show each visitor just what they need to see, don’t waste their time and get them where they need to go without any detours”. Segmentation is a type of customization technique for a website. But what if users don’t want to go where you want to send them? What if they need to access other content, navigation or features as part of their decision-making or sense-making strategy? What if a user assumes another role and misses offers and opportunities that you didn’t anticipate they would see?
In this seminar we will get to the bottom of segmentation strategies and look at examples of segmentation that works and that doesn’t work, and look at data from a recent Experience Dynamics research study involving 52 websites.
