TOP 12 Ways to Segment Your Contact List You can never have too much information. However, data that isn t segmented holds far less value than data that has been properly sliced and diced. So if you aren t already segmenting your contact lists you should be! Segmenting your email lists gets the right message to the right audience at the right time. Smart use of segmentation tools means higher open and conversion rates for your email campaigns boosting campaign results and ultimately driving more sales. Here are a few different things you can ask for when you re building your contact lists: Age Know the age of your readers to better optimize your email content towards certain types of products and services. Offer age ranges or ask for the recipient s birth date. Knowing your customers birth date can also be valuable for sending specific birthday promotions. Male/Female Ask if your customer is male or female. This can be a great a way to send them targeted emails based on the different products or services you have. Some contacts may be interested in deals for several members of their family, so carefully consider how you phrase this question.

Where are you from? Finding out where your contacts live can be tremendously useful. If your store has a physical location, you can send in-store coupons for local customers. For best results, ask for a zip code/postal code, or have the contact select from a list of geographic regions. Size of company Know the size of your customer s company to better target products or services based on their company profile. Provide ranges (e.g. 1-10 employees, 10-50 employees, etc.) for your email contacts to select from rather than allowing them to enter a number. Industry Maybe you have different products that can be great for different industries? If you re selling to other businesses, you ll want to customize your content and promotions per industry. Have contacts choose from a list of your principal industries so it gives you an idea of what you could be sending their way.

Purchase history You may know customer purchase history, but segmenting your list with this knowledge can certainly put you at an advantage. Let customers know you care about what they think, and then reward them with a coupon or ask them for a review on a product or service they have received from you. VIPS Big spenders, repeat shoppers, and high-profile customers these deserve special attention. You could offer these customers special promotions or even invite them to exclusive events you are hosting. You should base this segmentation on your personal data and keep it private because some customers may not self-identify with the labels you place on them. Coupon use SAVE 20% Many customers only make purchases with coupons or discounts. Identify and target this segment during any promotional event for the highest engagement. If customers love coupons why not hit them up with some every now and then to achieve more sales?

Shopping cart abandonment If you have an online store, you can use segmentation to follow-up with customers who abandon their shopping carts. Shoot them a reminder email that they have left items in their cart and direct them back to your website. You can also request feedback as to why they didn t follow through with sale. Event attendance When you know which customers or prospects attended past events that you hosted, you can follow up accordingly. It also lets you promote other events or parties that they may be interested in attending. You can collect this information directly at the event and then upload it into Campaigner s email marketing solution for more effective subsequent outreach campaigns. Number of children or family size If you know which contacts have children, you can send family-oriented promotions and deals that grab their attention. You can also target customers with no children or who may be empty nesters.

Organization type There are several different types of organizations such as non-profit, government, franchise, e-commerce, etc. For B2B marketing, segmentation by organization can result in more suitable content which will end in a higher engagement level and more effective email marketing.
