 In the dynamic world of Software as a Service (SaaS), understanding your audience is mission-critical. 🎯

Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all approaches. Today, SaaS founders must embrace the power of market segmentation to thrive. 📈

3️⃣ Effective Marketing: Your marketing efforts become more efficient when you know exactly who you're speaking to. Segment-specific campaigns resonate far better. 📣
4️⃣ Higher Retention: Personalized experiences lead to happier customers. Happy customers stay longer and become advocates. 🤝

2️⃣ Segmentation Criteria: Identify the factors that differentiate your audience segments, such as industry, company size, or user behavior.
3️⃣ Customize Your Approach: Tailor your product features, pricing, and marketing messages to each segment's unique needs.
4️⃣ Feedback Loop: Continuously gather and analyze data to refine your segmentation and offerings.

How redesigning an icon is changing perceptions worldwide

Some icons are so commonplace that we’ve come to not think twice about them—until they’re changed. One such image undergoing a makeover is the ‘International Symbol of Access’, commonly known as the ‘Wheelchair Symbol’.

There’s no doubt that the existing icon is easily recognizable; the problem, especially for the people it is supposed to represent, is that it portraits wheelchair users as passive and inactive—the original variation even depicted wheelchair users as headless. Combatting the problem is the Accessible Icon Project, an initiative designed to help change perceptions of wheelchair users by redesigning the classic icon to focus on the individual, rather than the disability. The new design is as easily recognizable, and ADA compliant but also features a person in control of their own movement and navigating the world under their own power.

Each element of the icon has been carefully judged to ensure the new symbol carries none of the negative connotations of the previous icon. Certainly the new design is less in-keeping with the 1960s view of people with disabilities that produced the original.

The Project encourages grassroots efforts to replace old signs with the new forward-thinking symbol. Both stencils and stickers are available for those that wish to enact change.

The Accessible Icon Project is a great example of how design can change the world for the better.
