Tips for Best Results
- 1.Include at least 3-5 behavioral metrics beyond demographics (purchase frequency, CLV, engagement rate) for more sophisticated segments that drive real marketing action.
- 2.Paste actual sample data rows or summary statistics rather than vague descriptions—AI produces more specific, actionable recommendations with concrete numbers.
- 3.Specify your exact marketing goals upfront (retention vs. acquisition vs. expansion)—this focuses the segmentation on segments you can actually act on.
- 4.Ask for implementation timelines and quick wins in the same prompt—this bridges the gap between analysis and execution, preventing insights from sitting unused.
