Create and target segments so you can filter which subsets of customers are eligible to enroll in your referral campaign. For example, you can target loyal customers whose lifetime spend is more than $500 and send them bigger rewards.
Using segments is a great way to limit the audience of your referral program based on the conditions you set, or the specific contacts you select.
Using a segment in your campaign
Go to Campaigns and select All Campaigns.
Select your Live campaign and click Target Audience.
In the Target this segment dropdown, select one or more segments from the options. Or create a new one.
You can also exclude a segment by selecting one or more values in the Exclude this segment dropdown. This is optional.
Click Save Changes.
Creating a new segment
On the Target Audience page of your live campaign, click the Target this segment dropdown and select Create New Segment.
Choose either a Dynamic or Static segment.
Dynamic - eligibility is based on the conditions you set.
Static - only the selected contacts you import are eligible.
Type in the segment name and set up your segment.
Click Save Changes. Once saved, you can now target or exclude the new segment in your Target Audience settings.
Viewing segment contacts
