There has been a lot of talk about segmentation at Email Summit in Las Vegas. The common themes are that:
(a) Everybody needs to segment MORE and
(b) Implementation is the one thing that holds people back.
So, if you’re not already segmenting, here are 4 easy components that you can start with for segmenting purposes.
1. Geographically.
This is great for events, seasonal promotions, etc.
2. Gender.
Even if you don’t necessarily have a product that is specific to men OR women, you may find that segmenting your message can make a difference.
3. Age.
An 18-24 audience is much different than 55-64. Your messaging and method of communication needs to match.
4. Interests.
If you’re not already including surveys in your email series, start adding survey questions into your sequences.
