Segment
A segment is a group of customers that share similar characteristics, e.g gender, age or location. At Engage, segments can also be based on similar actions or inactions, e.g “yet to log in in 30 days”. The process of creating this customer group is called Customer segmentation. Customer segmentation makes it possible to identify customers within these groups and send them the right message. Engage makes that even more seamless by automatically adding and removing customers from respective segments as the customer's data change.
