Audience Segmentation
Audience segmentation is dividing customers and prospects into groups based on shared attributes or behavior, such as high-value buyers or lapsed customers, so you can target each with relevant messaging. Built on unified first-party data, segments map directly to action.
Good segmentation turns a single customer base into actionable groups: who to upsell, who to win back, who to suppress, and who to find more of.
Segments are only as good as the profiles beneath them, which is why resolving data to one record per person comes before slicing it into audiences.
