Psychology

Humans are decision-making creatures. ​As we develop, our experience of the world is reflected in our cognitive decision-making processes.​ Once formed, these processes are enduring and predictable. Our decision-making processes drive how we make purchases. ​

It is the science of our experiences, rather than demographics, that dictates how we shop and why we buy what we buy.

If we can understand how a customer thinks, how they take in and process information, we can personalise communication to align with their purchase decision-making processes.

Decision-making mentalities

Everyone has unique decision-making processes, but individuals can be clustered according to similarities in their processes. ​

For example, people with the same occupations share very similar decision-making processes. AudienceZen has identified 12 clusters of decision-making processes which provide the foundations of the AudienceZen solution.

Each of these 12 decision-making clusters describes a predictable and enduring purchase decision-making model. Understanding these clusters and segmenting your customers accordingly is the key to using the science of AudienceZen to drive sales.

The Science of Psychographics

AudienceZen’s proprietary science-based methodology is based on the company’s founder’s PhD and post-doctoral research into the psychology of decision-making.​ He profiled 33,000 individuals across 800 primary occupational streams. His findings showed significant similarities within vocational bands, providing the basis for a transformational approach to customer segmentation and targeting.​

These cognitive factors influence an individual’s perception of their environment, which has a massive influence over interpretation, recall and adoption of marketing and customer service communication.
