2.1.1 Customer Segmentation
The determination of customer segments is a critical aspect in NOVAON'ssuccess To do this, NOVAON has gone through several steps of careful analysis ondemand and budget factors in order to identify the ideal target customer group for itsproducts
At this time, NOVAON separates its segments into two groups in accordancewith the company's business strategy:
● Businesses: Mainly small and medium-sized businesses These businessesrun unsuccessful online and digital marketing initiatives Their advertisementsare doing ineffectively because post-ad data has not been properly examined Inaddition, they also lack market research For NOVAON, this is the mostimportant and profitable segment
● Media partners: With the goal of “đồng hành với các ông lớn”, Novaoncollaborates with social networking sites such as Google, Facebook, Tiktok,Youtube From the beginning, the Novaon specification has been that theycannot compete with Google and Facebook in creating a Global Platform likethem Instead, Novaon can accompany and generate value for clients throughGoogle and Facebook's primary products

Novaon can leverage technology to include Google and Facebook platforms inits customer plans Other agencies typically develop plans that primarily make use ofGoogle and Facebook platforms that are accessible to the majority of people The uniquefeature that distinguishes Novaon from other agencies is its ability to develop tools thatsupport those platforms, allowing it to generate more conversions while saving money onconversion costs The company has been successful in identifying its products andservices as having unique applications and outperforming competitors The more diversethe benefits and characteristics, the more businesses choose the service
Positioning based on product price
Trang 14Novaon's customers are typically businesses, and partners can be agencies.Customers are offered a service package rather than a product by the company.Customers who fall into the Luxury category will receive more services or useproducts from that service package At the same time, customer reach in the media will
be expanded When competing on price directly in the media, Novaon clearlyunderstands its value, information including data on Facebook's recent set conversion,meta converse The company provides various service packages and prices based onthe customer Based on the aforementioned factors, it is clear that Novaon clearlyidentifies the customer segment it is targeting and offers the most appropriate price
