PlaybooksBy Camila Shiratsubaki, Yasmin Gonçalves and Francine Nogueira

In an increasingly competitive digital market, e-commerces and subscription-based businesses face the challenge of communicating effectively with their customers and visitors. Offering aggressive discounts and enticing promotions is a common strategy to prospect new clients. However, it can lead to dissatisfaction among existing customers who are not eligible for these exclusive offers.

The solution to this dilemma lies in taking advantage of buying journey stage-based communication. By implementing web personalization strategies, businesses can reduce friction, elevate customer satisfaction, and discover valuable cross-selling and upselling opportunities.

How to deliver the right message

Segmenting customers from visitors allows you to craft tailored offers for each group.

For customers, you can focus on nurturing loyalty and maintaining a solid relationship by providing exclusive benefits, rewards, and purchase history-based product recommendations.

Meanwhile, you can generate interest and convert visitors into customers by offering first-purchase discounts, showcasing relevant products or services, and providing informative content that addresses their specific pain points.

Not only does this approach enhance their experience but also creates new opportunities for generating additional revenue.

Creating your experience

Creating visitor and customer segments using Croct is simple. The first step is to identify the criteria your company uses to define a user as a customer. Check out the examples below.

Audience

You can segment customers based on their activity:

  • user's activities include "login"

If you want your campaign to target only specific users, use this query:

  • campaign's name matches "something"
  • campaign's content matches "something"

Where "something" is part of the name that comes in the UTM campaign parameters, such as utm_campaign=email_for_something.

You can use the following criteria to segment customers based on their purchase history:

  • user's stats' orders is not 0
  • property orders of user's stats is not 0

Then, you can create mixed criteria like this one using the or operator:

  • user's activities include "login" or campaign's name matches "something" or user's stats' orders is not 0
