Revenue segmentation

Revenue segmentation breaks down total revenue into distinct customer groups based on shared characteristics. These segments might include user types, subscription tiers, geographic regions, or acquisition channels. This analysis reveals which customer groups generate the most revenue and show the strongest growth potential.

Understanding segment performance helps prioritize product development and marketing efforts. For instance, if a particular group of customers generate 60% of revenue despite being only 20% of the user base, this insight influences feature prioritization and resource allocation. Also identifying other fast-growing user segments is crucial because investing in these segments helps build multiple strong revenue streams rather than depending too heavily on a single customer group. This spreading of revenue across different segments acts as a safety net — if one segment struggles, the others can help maintain overall business stability.
