9. Importance of Segmentation
SEGMENTATION IS THE KEY
to increasing email marketing metrics
and conversion rates for marketing
campaigns – and to improving
prospect engagement
10. Segmentation Basics
Demographic/Profile Behavioral
• Web pages visited
• Title • Forms submitted
• Department • Emails clicked
• Geography • Whitepapers
• Company size downloaded
• Industry • Webinar
registration &
attendance
11. Build a Segmentation Strategy
Define the profiles and behaviors that
characterize your existing best customers
Build desirable, productive segments by
understanding who buys now, and why they buy
Create “personas”– profiles of ideal buyers – and
then look for prospects that match the personas
13. Build out Prospect Information
• Information a prospect
Explicit: gives you, such as via a
form
• Gathered by observing the
Implicit prospect, i.e. what website
pages they visit
15. Progressive Profiling
• Use a sequence of simple forms to build up
profile of a visitor over time
• As you collect more data, programs can
become more targeted
Keeping forms short and simple increases
conversion rates
16. In Action: Progressive Profiling
An anonymous visitor clicks on a whitepaper link on
your website
Form asking for just name and email address is
shown
Next time this visitor clicks on a different link, a form
that asks for company, job title and industry is
displayed
For the 3rd subsequent asset contact requests, form
can request phone number, # of employees, etc
18. Dynamic Segmentation
• Define dynamic segments by combining
profile attributes with observed
behaviors
• As people take action, they automatically
move into that specific segment
• Set up automated campaigns and actions
for these dynamic segments
23. In a Nutshell
• Measure marketing interactions with your
prospects
• Combine this behavioral data with
demographic information to define highly
targeted segments
• Automate personalized campaigns to
these targeted segments
24. 7 Steps to Getting Started
1. Begin with two or three segments
2. Begin with simple campaigns targeted
specifically to those segments
3. Collect progressive data and refine
4. Measure success at every step; consider using
at least two metrics
5. Analyze at regular intervals
6. Watch for patterns and adjust
7. Keep evolving
