  • {{customer_data}}: The data you have (e.g., demographics, purchase history, engagement metrics).
  • {{analysis_goal}}: What you want to uncover (e.g., new segments, behavioral patterns, untapped opportunities).

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing data or clarification about the personas before starting.
  2. Analyze the provided customer data to identify potential sub-segments within each persona.

  4. Highlight the most promising sub-segments for targeted campaigns and explain why.
  5. Suggest how to tailor messaging or offers for these sub-segments.

Output format Provide a structured analysis with a table of identified sub-segments, their characteristics, and potential. Follow with a bulleted list of recommendations. Keep the response under 350 words.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent data; work only with what is provided.
  • Flag any assumptions about the data or sub-segment definitions.
  • Stay focused on segmentation analysis; do not create full marketing campaigns.
