Sure it depends on the niche, but I want to provide you with the 5 easy steps to email campaign segmentation that work for each and every niche. Please enjoy! 1. Review your data. You need to be sure the data you have can help, as it's a great mistake to segment your campaign by faulty information. Be sure you have right data on gender, age, etc. These basic data is extremely important. 2. Start building your segments. Start with demographic segmentation - this will allow you to learn basics of email segmentation - segment by age, gender and location. Later add behavioral segmentation - by previous purchases, on-site activity and more. 3. Prepare relevant content.
