Summary

When budgets tighten, researchers need to get creative. One cost-effective way to gain valuable consumer insights without bursting the research budget is to use a syndicated segmentation scheme. Ensuring that the segmentation aligns with internal needs is imperative, but once a match is identified, reaping the benefits will be easy. The Technographics® segmentation has been used for more than 10 years to help Forrester's clients understand consumers' technology adoption and behaviors. This report helps consumer market researchers identify how and when this segmentation can be useful. To better understand the Technographics segmentation, this report includes updated profiles of the individual segments.
