Introduction

Equifax's marketing segmentation solutions are based on a foundation of over $24 trillion in anonymous US consumer investable assets—the direct-measured consumer wealth data is unique to Equifax because of the IXI Financial consortium—and credit data for over 220 million consumers in the US.

Syndicated Taxonomy

  • Affluence Index: Digital helps focus online ad spend on consumers who likely have the desired capacity to spend, save, or invest on products or services.

  • Ability to Pay: This helps businesses gain critical insight on a household’s ability to afford products and services. It lets marketers provide more accurate assessments of consumer ability to pay for premium products and services, as well as better accuracy of where attrition is likely to occur at lower levels of income and discretionary spending.

  • Automotive: Segments that are built on a foundation of anonymous, aggregated information from Equifax, as well as industry partner data. They provide audiences likely to be in the market or have certain behaviors, propensities, or characteristics. Auto Credit segments offer a means of marketing to consumer segments likely to have specific auto credit propensities.

  • Aggregated FICO: This harnesses credit’s predictive power and aggregate raw scores for better predictions of consumers that are most likely to respond to a particular offer.

  • Economic Cohorts: A household-level marketing segmentation solution that helps marketers improve understanding and communication with consumers for more targeted and relevant product offers. It classifies all US households into one of 71 different household types (clusters or segments). Unlike other solutions, Economic Cohorts uses economic factors that include estimated income, discretionary spending, credit, ability to pay, survey data, and more.

  • Insurance: Propensity segments that are built on a foundation of anonymous, aggregated insurance and annuity premium values gathered from the nation’s leading Life and Annuity manufactures. Insurance propensity segments reflect a HH-level view of estimated total premium values. Equifax also incorporates additional proprietary financial metrics, including aggregated EFX credit information, into its scoring system to help insurance firms better differentiate consumers to target for their offers.
