A segment is a set of search criteria that has been saved for later use. When you search through your subscribers you can use various search criteria and create a segment from this.
Segments are useful for searches that you frequently perform, and for sending broadcast messages to groups of people within a given list in your account. Segments are dynamic, so as new subscribers meet the criteria of your segment, they will also be added to the segment.
Example:
Let's say that you have a newsletter about cars, and when people sign up they tell you what kind of car they have. You perform a search each week to see how many people have Toyotas.
Rather than manually setting that search criteria every week, if you create a segment, you can more easily display all of your subscribers who have Toyotas.
We also provide you with several pre-made segments, which are already stored in your account. These segments include:
-
