Decoding Consumer Profiles for 2024

Unveiling the Faces Behind the Data: Decoding Consumer Profiles for 2024

Understanding your customers is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. But in today’s dynamic marketplace, a one-size-fits-all approach no longer works. This is where customer profiling comes in—a method that transforms raw data into actionable insights, helping brands connect meaningfully with their audiences.
At its core, customer profiling goes beyond demographics to decode behaviors, preferences, and motivations. Are your customers motivated by convenience, value, or brand values? Do they prefer in-store browsing or digital-first experiences? These questions, when answered with precision, enable businesses to craft personalized strategies that resonate.

Why is Customer Profiling a Game-Changer?

Hyper-Personalization: Profiles help brands curate unique offerings, from product recommendations to targeted campaigns that feel tailor-made.
Improved ROI: Knowing your customer means spending smarter—focusing resources on channels and messages that deliver the most impact.
Adaptability: In a landscape where consumer behaviors shift rapidly, profiling ensures you're always one step ahead, anticipating needs before they arise.The visual contains four key consumer profiles expected to shape behaviors in 2024:
1. Regulators: These are stability-driven consumers, primarily Gen X, prioritizing consistent, frictionless commerce to balance their demanding schedules. Strategies like curbside delivery and voice commerce cater to their needs.
2. Connectors: They thrive on shared consumption models such as co-buying and subscriptions. Rebranding and a focus on decentralized brands can attract this group.
3. Memory Makers: Emotionally driven, they seek meaningful experiences and products that help reclaim time or create lasting memories. Investing in the care economy and group-buying strategies are effective for this segment.
4. New Sensoria lists: They are drawn to innovative, immersive experiences. Businesses targeting them should explore the metaverse and meta-loyalty rewards for engagement.The Customer journey, for instance, begins by categorizing usage into daily skincare routines, color cosmetics, and occasional use, driven by concerns like acne or professional grooming needs. Purchase frequency varies widely (1–8 weeks) and is influenced by planned (product trials, skin suitability) and unplanned factors (recommendations, affiliate ads). The channel preference (online vs offline) reflects the convenience and credibility sought in the purchase. Platform discovery is shaped by influencers like beauty bloggers and social media, while brand discovery is guided by features such as packaging, suitability, and ease of application.At 1Lattice, we've worked with diverse brands—ranging from global giants to emerging startups—to uncover what truly drives their customers.
