Segmentation in MTARGET helps you categorize contacts based on specific criteria, enabling targeted campaigns and better audience management. Here's how to make the most of this feature:
Understand Contact Status
Segment contacts based on their status to prioritize your actions effectively:
Active: These contacts engage with your emails; prioritize them for marketing.
Pending: Contacts who haven't confirmed subscription; consider follow-up actions.
Unsubscribed: Respect their preference; exclude them from campaigns.
Hard Bounce: Ensure these addresses are cleaned to maintain your sender reputation.
Use Filters for Precision
Filters allow you to narrow down contacts based on specific attributes:
- By Field
- Example: Find all contacts located in "Jakarta". Use the Contain or Match filter on the City field with the value "Jakarta".
- By Label:
- Example: Identify contacts tagged as "VIP" or "Frequent Buyers". Use the Contain option on the Label filter with "VIP" or "Frequent Buyers".
Create Meaningful Segments
Steps to create a segment:
- Go to Segment menu.
- Click Add Segment button.
- Define filters (e.g., Field: "Last Purchase > 30 Days").
- Save the segment with a descriptive name like Inactive Buyers > 30 Days.
Update and Optimize Segments
- Edit Existing Segments: Modify criteria as your contact database evolves.
- Analyze Segment Performance: Export segment data to review and refine your targeting.
Best Practices for Segmentation
- Be Specific: Avoid overly broad criteria; focus on actionable groups.
- Combine Filters: Use multiple filters (e.g., Label + Status) for deeper insights.
- Test and Iterate: Run campaigns for smaller segments to measure impact before scaling.
Advanced Tip: Dynamic Segments
Utilize dynamic segmentation by integrating automation workflows to adjust segments based on real-time user actions (e.g., adding labels or updating fields automatically).
Visual Aid (Optional)
Include screenshots or GIFs showing how to:
- Create a new segment.
- Apply filters.

Conclusion
By leveraging MTARGET's segmentation effectively, you can improve campaign relevance, increase engagement rates, and streamline audience management.
