The Natural Marketing Institute's Health & Wellness Segmentation Model Methodology
Development of the Institute’s Health & Wellness segmentation model began in 2009 with evaluating over 515 different attitudinal and behavioral variables, later narrowed to approximately 19.
A k means clustering method was used. Cluster centers were defined as dense regions in the multivariate space based on a k means segmentation of the attitudinal and behavioral variables from the Institute’s Health & Wellness Consumer Trends Database survey.
This segmentation can be used to identify and predict segment membership as part of a quantitative extrapolative analysis of future consumer behavior.
5 Unique Segments: each segment is mutually exclusive and is designed to have the maximum differentiation between consumer groups and the maximum homogeneity within each consumer group. The predictive accuracy is high at 92.2%.
The segmentation has been overlaid on third party data sets such as Nielsen’s Home scan and can be used through the Institute in custom/primary qualitative or quantitative research.
