Take It to the Next Level

You will need a large email list to really leverage your customer data on FB, as there is about a 1000 user match minimum to start targeting your audiences. If you have an email list in the 10’s of 1000’s, we recommend creating segments based on different user attributes and then share those with FB to retain existing customers and make lookalikes to find new customers that are similar in traits.

Here are some classic, top performing segments to utilize:

• Top customers by revenue (i.e. top 10%)

• Top customers by number of orders

• Customers that click emails more than 3 times, but haven’t bought in 60 days (close to converting)

• Customers that have not bought in a year (win back list)

• Customers that open emails at a higher than average rate, but have not purchased yet

• Customers that are in a relevant geography, i.e. southern coastal states you could start showing swim or summer wear early

As you can see, there are so many ways to spin this. Have fun, give it a shot, and when in doubt, test it out!
