GLOSSARY

Segmentation.

Segmentation groups customers or subscribers by meaningful shared characteristics.

Why it matters

Behaviour, purchase history and engagement can inform relevance and frequency. Keep consent and suppression rules consistent, and check whether segments improve outcomes rather than simply multiplying lists.

A recent first-time buyer needs a different conversation from a dormant subscriber.

Put it in context

Use this concept alongside the relevant customer journey, business costs and measurement assumptions. A single metric rarely tells the whole story.
