DoorDash
Targeting your marketing communications. As a DoorDash Product Marketing Lead for Dash Pay, Earnings Experience, and Financial services and tools – I ran a growth program on a fairly new earning model that didn’t have an ideal customer profile yet, meaning our segmentation for marketing messaging was all over the place. I developed an experiment to nail that just that based on our product’s value props.
Introduction
Research consistently shows that targeted marketing through audience segmentation delivers significantly higher ROI than broad-based approaches, with McKinsey reporting that personalized communications can lift revenues by 5-15% and increase marketing spend efficiency by 10-30%. This is particularly crucial for product growth strategies, as customer acquisition costs have risen by over 60% in the past five years, according to ProfitWell's analysis. By developing distinct messaging and value propositions for different customer segments, companies can not only reduce these acquisition costs but also drive higher conversion rates - with Hubspot's research showing segmented campaigns achieving click-through rates 100.95% higher than non-segmented campaigns. The impact is even more pronounced in B2B settings, where buying committees have grown 40% larger in recent years, according to Gartner. Therefore is essential to address the specific needs and concerns of different stakeholder groups within target organizations.
