Waistband Segmentation System
The Experian Simmons Waistband Segments give clients unparalleled insight on the differences and similarities between consumers based on their body characteristics: food preferences, self-image, health, psychographic profiles, lifestyle characteristics, and media usage preferences.

- Quick-service restaurant: tailor menu and specials based on food preferences and health concerns
- Healthcare: determine which segments are most at risk for specific health ailments
- Automotive: understand how auto preferences differ based on physical characteristics
- Travel: find which segments are the most likely candidates for specialty destination trips
