Segments

Segments

Segments in Contacts section allows you to categorize contacts in groups based on different criteria. Dividing contacts into small groups lets you focus on the needs of the particular set effectively. This helps in strategizing potent marketing campaigns for targeted contacts thereby increasing contacts conversion and overall revenue.
 
You can create segments based on specific criteria such as geographical (country, state, city), demography (age, gender) or based on behaviour and buying patterns. You can also separate contacts using field details such as the first name, last name, company name, state, country and other custom information and campaigns can be sent out to a particular set of contacts.

The segments are dynamic. Contacts will be added or removed if there are changes in the specified criteria after the creation of the segment.

  1. Under Contacts menu in the Navigation Toolbar to the left, select Segments.
