Getting Started with Segments and Customer Attributes
The ChurnIQ segment catalogue is a good starting point for working with customer attributes. It provides 20 strategically important segments that you can use immediately.
However, it is also helpful to understand some simple ground rules for thinking about attributes and using them to build segments.
3 Attribute Categories
There are 3 main levels of attributes you can think about when creating segments. These are:
- Key events
- Temporal attributes
- Customer attributes
Key events are important actions or inactions in the customer lifecycle. They include important lifecycle events like the following:
- Customer registration
- Subscription start
- Subscription renewal
- Subscription cancellation
Or more behavioral events like these:
- Engaged with content
- Redeemed a coupon
- Is at risk of churn
Temporal attributes are used with key events to give them meaningful qualities, like time since or until they occurred/occur:
- Days since last logged in
- Days since subscription start
- Days until subscription expiry
Finally, customer attributes are generated by key events, but independent of them. They look like this:
- Distribution channel
- Offer period
- Engagement level
Combining attribute categories
With these 3 building blocks you can create a near-infinite number of segments. Here's how they combine to create a segment structure. We will use a single key event with two customer attributes:
(Key event)
Subscription expiry
+ (temporal attribute)
is: 7 days from now
+ (customer attribute 1)
Channel is: Android
+ (customer attribute 2)
Offer title contains: Annual
Now our segment contains all customers with annual subscriptions, created via an Android device, whose subscriptions will expire 3 days from now.
Customer Status
One last point to keep in mind is that you will also want to use broad customer status attributes as pre-conditions for some segments. There are only two statuses to be conscious of here:
- Whether the subscription is active or inactive
- Whether the subscription is paid or free
Pre-Built Segments
You can use ChurnIQ's pre-built segments to get a better understanding of attributes can be combined to create useful customer groups.
