Email segmentation is a marketing strategy where you split and group your subscribers into different segments. The grouping is based on criteria like age, gender, or interests. The goal is to send emails that are relevant to people in the group.
This approach is backed by solid data: according to CampaignMonitor, segmented campaigns drive a 760% increase in revenue.
Email is thriving, and it is doing better than social media, display ads, and SEO lead generation channels. If offers an average ROI of $36 for every dollar spent – no other channel can catch up to it yet.
Email marketing revenue worldwide hit 8.49 billion U.S. dollars in 2021, and by 2027, this number is expected to reach 17.9 billion U.S. dollars worldwide.
The segmentation can be based on criteria like:
- Location.
- Age.
- Gender.
- Relationships or marital status.
- Marketing funnel stage.
- Interests.
- Customers’ skill level.
- Grouping that aims to cross-sell or upsell.
- Engagement level with the brand.
- Lifestyle.
Criteria choice should depend on the type of business, its goals for email marketing, and what actually makes sense for that specific company.
