The adoption of Experian Mosaic guides IKEA Australia’s business, marketing and location strategy
IKEA, a global leader in home furnishings, has evolved from its humble beginnings as a Swedish mail-order company. Today, it reaches millions of homes worldwide with its renowned flat-pack furniture and distinctive market presence.
Their commitment to innovation and technology has been a driving force behind their remarkable journey of growth and success. However, prior to 2018 IKEA Australia had no formal consumer segmentation platform in place. Something they identified as a gap and challenge to future growth.
Challenge overview
IKEA Australia had no formal consumer classification or segmentation technology in place before 2018. This hampered the performance of basic marketing initiatives such as removing those less likely to purchase. Any business or marketing planning activity that involved consumers, such as launching a new range or opening a new store, was a manual exercise with limited ability to analyse different consumer attributes.
The limited data enrichment would’ve been particularly challenging, missing out on insights relating to customer behaviours, preferences, and demographics. IKEA Australia knew back in 2018 that an enterprise-grade segmentation tool was required and has subsequently gone on to embed Experian’s consumer classification platform, Mosaic, across many of their core business functions.
Challenges
- Insufficient consumer insights pre-2018
- Manual and limited analysis for business and marketing planning
- Demand an enterprise-grade segmentation tool for data enrichment and insights
