Some email marketers do not know the importance of segmentation. Believe me, your conversions will magically increase if you segment your target audience properly.

With the segmentation, you remain aware of their taste and preference, their age, or their demographics. All that information helps you to create a better and relevant newsletter and improve the chances of making your subscribers happy.  

Importance of email segmentation:

The most reputed brands target users based on segmentation. For example, Prime and Netflix suggest shows or movies based on your history or preferences. Similarly, all businesses target customers based on their preferences. 

You can achieve the following things by segmenting subscribers:

  • Increase open-rate
  • Enhance click-through rates
  • Increase conversion rates
  • Improve deliverability rates
  • Increase sales

How to segment the subscribers?

Subscriber Skills

You have to create the email content based on your subscriber skills. Not everyone has the same skill set, so you have to mold your email content according to that. Segment the subscribers and communicate what you want without any communication barrier. You will be able to convey your motive only when a subscriber can read and understand it. 

Also, you will be able to add existing skill sets to subscribers when you know what they currently know. 

Emails based on Interest

Create interesting emails to deliver your content gracefully. But how to create interesting emails? That can only be possible when you know about the subscriber’s interest. Send emails of a different genre to know what interests your subscriber. With what kind of emails the subscribers are engaging most? Segment them and in the future, target based on interests. This will surely boost your email marketing campaign and bring positive results. 

Birthday Month

Everyone loves receiving birthday wishes. Even from strangers. So, this is the best chance for you to grab the subscriber’s attention and show them that you care. You can create a custom field asking for their birthdate. Use automation to send gifts in the birthday month. Drive sales by offering discounts specially designed for them. This will create a win-win situation for you as they’ll spend on your product, and they will know about your attention to details like their birthdays. 

Use Native Language

When you go digital, you get customers from different regions. It is possible that your customer is not from your country. So, here what you have to do: Communicate with the language your subscriber is most comfortable with. Use geographical tags to target subscribers from various regions. 

Geographical Location

Are you an e-commerce company? Or a business having branches in various countries? Well, here is the solution. Send emails considering the geographical location of the subscriber.
