Using segments to target campaign offers to the right shoppers
How behavioural and campaign-based segmentation helps deliver relevant offers and increase seasonal conversion
Overview
Campaign performance improves dramatically when offers are targeted to the right shoppers. Segments allow you to group visitors based on behaviour, purchase history, and campaign engagement - then deliver Smart Content and product recommendations that match their needs.
This helps reduce irrelevant messaging, increase engagement, and drive stronger results during seasonal moments.
Why segmentation improves campaign performance
Not all shoppers respond to the same message. Segmentation helps you tailor offers based on who the shopper is, what they've done, and how they engage with your store.
Why it works
- It ensures offers feel relevant and timely
- It helps avoid generic or repetitive messaging
- It supports personalised product discovery
- It increases conversion by matching intent
- It allows for campaign-specific targeting
Segmentation is especially powerful during seasonal campaigns when shopper behaviour varies widely.
Targeted offers convert better than broad promotions.
How Liva 7 supports segmentation for campaigns
Liva 7 allows you to create segments based on real-time behaviour, campaign engagement, and historical data - then use those segments to power Smart Content and recommendations.
What you can segment by
- New vs returning shoppers
- Past purchase behaviour
- Campaign engagement (e.g. email clicks, landing page visits)
- Browsing patterns and product views
- Cart value or product types
- Seasonal or promotional interest
Segments can be used to trigger Smart Content, personalise recommendations, or control display rules.
Segments update automatically as shopper behaviour changes.
Where segmented offers perform best
Targeted offers can appear across multiple page types to support different stages of the campaign journey.
High-performing placements
- Homepage: show different banners to different segments
- Product pages: reinforce offers based on shopper history
- Cart page: surface relevant add-ons or incentives
- Collection pages: highlight products aligned with segment behaviour
Homepage segmentation helps guide shoppers into the right campaign flow.
Effective strategies for segmented campaign offers
Different strategies can be used depending on the campaign type and shopper behaviour.
- First-time visitor offers to encourage initial conversion
- Returning shopper bundles based on past views
- Loyalty offers for high-value customers
- Seasonal product recommendations based on browsing history
- Cart-based incentives for high-intent segments
- Smart Content banners tailored to campaign engagement
These strategies help ensure that each shopper sees the most relevant offer.
Segments work best when they reflect real shopper behaviour.
