Based on the additional context provided "customer profile" would make more sense, though I haven't seen "zone d'attractivité" used in that way before.

attractivity group


Explanation:
I know that in market research focus groups they talk about a set of people who fall into a bracket, "group".

I think this is talking about which area/group of society this is concerning (i.e. sex, age etc). Therefore I would call it a group.

Example sentence(s):
  • "In this way, marketing companies are able to develop effective strategies for attracting specific GROUPS of people to certain products."

focus group


Explanation:
I think it is a direct translation from the English term 'focus group', and focus group is a good choice as it is a common term in marketing studies.
I'll add that in context 'peer group statistics' or 'client data' might be better as simply a heading category.

Example sentence(s):
  • We need you! Participate in paid marketing research: Focus groups, paid interviews, and paid online surveys.
  • Tivoli Storage Manager policies are rules that determine how the client data is stored and managed.
