What is Geographic Segmentation in Email Marketing?

Geographic segmentation refers to grouping customers based on location, such as city, state/province, or country. Companies use this to personalize their marketing to communities and give them a better experience.

Implementing Geographic Segmentation with By the Numbers

By the Numbers, an analytics tool for Shopify can create geographic segments and apply them to reports (i.e. LTV reports). This lets you analyze and compare data for customers in different regions, identify trends, and make more informed decisions. You could also integrate your segments created from Klaviyo.

Keys to Proper Geographic Segmentation

Here are the key principles to keep in mind as you leverage geographic segmentation:

1. Tailor your marketing efforts to each segment:
   Customize your email campaigns, promotions, and content based on the unique characteristics of each geographic segment. This will help you resonate with your audience and drive higher engagement.
2. Focus on local events and promotions:
   Leverage geographic segmentation to create targeted campaigns for subscribers in specific regions, highlighting local events or offering localized promotions and discounts.

By implementing geographic segmentation in your email marketing strategy, you can create more targeted campaigns that cater to the unique characteristics of each audience segment. This approach not only improves customer experience but also leads to higher engagement, conversions, and overall ROI for your business.

Practical Applications of Geographic Segmentation

1. Identifying High-Value Customers
   By applying geographic segments to your LTV report, you can identify high-value customers in specific regions. You can then create targeted email campaigns that cater to preferences and needs, driving customer retention and increasing revenue.
2. Analyzing Product Velocity
   Applying geographic segments to Product Velocity reports allows you to determine which products are popular in different regions. This information can be used to optimize inventory management, marketing efforts, and product strategies.
3. Hosting Local Events
   Geographic segmentation helps you identify subscribers in specific areas interested in attending local events like seminars or workshops. By sending targeted invites to these subscribers, you can increase leads and engagement.
4. Offering Localized Promotions and Discounts
   Use geographic segmentation to create targeted email campaigns that offer localized promotions or discounts. For example, you could offer a discount on products popular in a region, encouraging those subscribers to make a purchase.
