Background of the Study
Market segmentation is a strategic approach that enables businesses to divide their target market into smaller, manageable groups based on shared characteristics. By tailoring products, services, and marketing efforts to these segments, companies can effectively meet the unique needs of their customers (Kotler & Armstrong, 2023). Market segmentation strategies have proven to enhance customer satisfaction, optimize resource allocation, and improve business performance.
In Nigeria’s banking industry, First Bank is a leading financial institution with a diverse customer base. In Borno State, where socio-economic conditions vary significantly, effective market segmentation is critical to delivering personalized banking solutions and maintaining a competitive edge (Ibrahim & Lawal, 2024).
This study evaluates the effectiveness of market segmentation strategies employed by First Bank in Borno State, focusing on their impact on customer satisfaction and business performance.
