Introduction to Alpine IQ’s Audience Segmentation
Alpine IQ’s audience segmentation feature allows businesses to categorize their customers into distinct groups based on various criteria.
This functionality is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, enabling marketers to quickly segment audiences without the need for extensive technical expertise.
Alpine IQ’s Audiences offers six overarching options for you to segment:
Contact Traits: this option allows you to segment based on demographic information, like name, address & favorite store. AIQ also has a great attribute called ‘Lifecycle Stage’ that allows you to setup lifecycle campaigns with unique messages based on where a customer is in their journey with your business.
Performed Event: this option allows you to segment based on a customer’s buying behaviors and contact-ability, like the first time they purchased or whether or not they’re opted into email and sms.
Computed Trait: this option allows you to segment based on how much a customer has done, like average ticket size or total spent. AIQ also has a great attribute called ‘Is a Top 20% Spender’ that allows you to target your highest spenders easily.
Predicted Trait: this option allows you to segment based off what a customer is expected to do in the future, such as likely to buy a product. Pair this option with the Dynamic Content modules in your campaigns for a truly personalized and relevant experience.
Custom Brand Traits: this option allows you to segment based off pre-defined attributes that your team has tagged a customer with, either at the POS or in a manual CSV data upload. This is a great option for targeting veterans and seniors for special promotions.
Custom Pixel Traits: this option allows you segment based off a customer’s actions on your website if you have pixel tracking installed, like which product pages they visited the most.
