Segmented lists get more engagement. The open and click results are likely to be higher since the email message can be more directly targeted to a certain group of people. You can segment your list with the Advanced Search tool located on the Contacts page.

Tips on Using Segmentation

• Reward customers who have opened all emails by sending a special offer.
• Find all customers who haven’t opened an email in the last 6 months and send them a re-engagement email.
• See who has never opened any emails and consider scrubbing them from your list.
• Identify subscribers who have never clicked after opening an email. Send them a follow-up asking if they are looking for different content.

Location

When searching by state for example, segment all customers on your list using the parameters ‘State is’, ‘State is not’, ‘State starts with’, or ‘State contains’

   

Use this segment type for geo-targeted promos to send a free shipping offer or promotional starter pack to audiences in select regions.

Birthday

Offering the ability to search by day, month, or year, you can now easily find all customers born within a specific time frame such as ‘November’ or on ‘January 21’.

   

Send your customers a ‘Happy Birthday’ shout out email or coupon on their special day with this use case.

Phone Number

If you’re planning an in-store focus group and want to reach your customers quickly, use ‘Phone Number’ segmentation to search by ‘Home’, ‘Work’, ‘Mobile’ or ‘ Fax’.

   

You can use area code digits specifically, or search by any digits in their number.
