Groups and Customer Segmentation
The Contacts Module in vCX takes customer segmentation to the next level with dynamic groups, enabling businesses to categorize and target their customers more effectively.
What are Groups?
Groups allow you to segment customers based on multiple parameters, ensuring you always reach the right audience. These groups are dynamic, meaning they automatically update when customer information changes, ensuring your segmentation remains accurate and up-to-date.
Segmentation Parameters
-
Contact Attributes:
- Name, email, phone number
- Location (city, region, or country)
- Tags for specific categories (e.g., VIP, leads, loyal customers)
-
Order-Based Parameters:
- Purchase history (frequency, last purchase date, or total spend)
- Order type (products, services, or appointments)
- Order status (completed, pending, or canceled)
-
Engagement Metrics:
- Interaction frequency (number of messages or responses)
- Last communication date
- Participation in previous campaigns
By combining these parameters, you can create highly targeted customer segments tailored to your business needs.
Why Dynamic Groups Matter
- Always Up-to-Date: Dynamic groups automatically include or remove customers based on real-time data, so your campaigns always target the right audience.
- Improved Targeting: Leverage granular segmentation to craft highly relevant messages, offers, or campaigns.
- Enhanced Automation: Use groups to power broadcast campaigns, workflows, or reminders without manual updates.
