Segmentation and Targeting of mass email campaigns



What are Email segmentation and Email Groups

Segmentation helps you target your campaign to the right recipients for the best possible results. By creating optimal groups of email recipients you can do the following:
·        Achieve better ROI
·        Have better email open and click rates

Sending campaigns to the right group can increase a campaign’s open and click rates by 15%-20% and besides the actual profit, you will also gain the satisfaction of your subscribers, who will expect further good offers and emails from you they will open.

Segmentation by Demographics

Locally sold products are meant to be sent to local recipients, filtered based on their residence city/area. Local promotions and events are not interesting to people outside the area they are held at and you should not send them such information, as they might just unsubscribe if they consider your emails irrelevant to them.

Segmentation by recipient activity/profession/business area

Segmenting by job or even hobby leaves you with the group of people really interested in the product/service you want to promote. Selling a space trip to a middle-class working person is a challenge and you should not lose subscribers with unrealistic offers. 

Segmentation by signup date

This allows you to welcome newcomers with interesting and exclusive offers, keeping their attention for a long time.  

You can gain valuable information during the signup process of your subscribers or with questionnaires filled by your clients simply by asking the right few questions, which will enable you to later include them to various groups. By knowing the client location, hobbies, favorite products, shopping habits etc., you can successfully gain information used for filtering and have the correct recipients for each of your campaigns.
