More About PRIZM

Claritas PRIZM classifies every U.S. household into one of more than 60 consumer segments based on the household’s purchasing preferences.

In March 2018, GG+A and DonorScape transitioned to the latest version of PRIZM: PRIZM Premier. If PRIZM segments were added to your DonorScape account prior to March 2018, they will be PRIZM NE segments, but PRIZM information added to your account after March 2018 will reflect the new PRIZM Premier segments.

PRIZM offers a complete set of ancillary databases and links to partner data, allowing marketers to use data outside of their own customer files to pinpoint products and services that their best customers are most likely to use as well as locate their best customers on the ground. PRIZM enables marketers to create a complete portrait of their customers by answering these important questions:

  • Who are my targets?
  • What are they like?
  • Where can I find them?
  • How can I reach them?

MSA’s are not limited by state lines. For example, the Philadelphia MSA includes the core and surrounding areas of Philadelphia, PA, Wilmington, DE, Atlantic City, NJ and areas of Maryland.
