Who is in your tribe ?

“A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate.” 

What is a tribe ?

As a business owner or representative your job is more than generating clients and customers, it’s bringing people into the larger scope of the work you’re doing, while developing loyalty and even partnership. In short, you’re creating a tribe—a group of people united by an interest, a cause or a product line.

According to Social Media Examiner, identifying tribes is a form of market segmentation that focuses on and brings value to your customer/client subgroups. And it can mean tangible success for your business :

Marketing segmentation offers an interesting opportunity to continue to grow your following while delivering highly targeted content that is relevant to your most profitable customer segments… Put simply, market segmentation is creating groups of your customers based on a criterion that signifies that they have similar interests and needs.

Why build a tribe?

Today technology lets us do more than sell, it allows us to connect. Create a loyal, connected, engaged following, and you’ve established a client base for the long term. Your customer groups and subgroups are your tribes.

Identifying and developing tribes helps you to better address your subgroups individually and bring unique value to your followers. There is no limit to the number of tribes you can have, and if your business has unique offerings that appeal to different populations, you may create multiple tribes. This allows you to deliver more targeted content or create events designed to bring tribe members together based on personal characteristics, interests, needs, or favourite products or business offerings.

What kinds of tribes will you build?

There is no limit to the kinds or number of tribes you can create. As you’re thinking about building tribes among your clients, customers or followers, think about what unifies them. Is it their passion for a product or a cause? Is it age or nationality or some other demographic criteria? Can you segment your followers geographically?
