The Institute's Health and Wellness Segmentation Model Methodology

Understanding the Institute’s Health & Wellness consumer segmentation within the U.S. general population allows marketers to optimize their target products and messages

Understanding NMI’s Health & Wellness consumer segmentation within the U.S. general population allows marketers to optimize their target products and messages

Development of the Institute’s Health and Wellness segmentation model began in 2009 with evaluating over 170 different attitudinal and behavioral variables, later narrowed to approximately 15. 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 variables.

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 Homescan and can be used through the Institute in custom/primary qualitative or quantitative research.
