Abstract

Customer segmentation has been one of hottest topics of marketing efforts. The traditional sources of data used for segmentation are demographics, monetary value of transactions, types of product/service selected. Today, data gathered by location based services can also be used for customer segmentation. In this chapter a real world case study is summarized and the initial segmentation results are presented. As the application, data gathered from beacons sited in 4000 locations and Fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm are used. The steps of the application are as follows: (1) Categorization of the shops, (2) Summarization of the location data, (3) Applying fuzzy clustering technique, (4) Analyzing the results and profiling. Results show that customers' location data can provide a new perspective to customer segmentation.
