Segment shoppers by what they do, not just who they are

Target customers by purchase behavior

Stop sending generic blasts to your entire list. Pushwoosh marketing segmentation lets you group customers based on actual shopping activity for ecommerce campaigns that resonate.

  • Purchase history segments: Target by items bought, order value, purchase frequency, and time since last order
  • Cart behavior: Identify customers who abandoned carts, added high-value items, or removed products before checkout
  • Browse activity: Segment visitors by product categories viewed, time on site, and pages visited

This means you can reach each customer with offers relevant to their shopping patterns instead of hoping generic messages convert.

RFM segmentation for e-commerce

Automatically categorize customers by their value to your business. Pushwoosh calculates RFM scores based on Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value to identify your most valuable segments.

  • Champions and VIPs: Recognize and reward your best customers with exclusive offers and early access
  • At-risk customers: Identify customers showing signs of churn before they leave for good
  • Dormant shoppers: Re-engage lapsed customers with personalized win-back campaigns

So you can prioritize high-value customers while proactively preventing churn among at-risk segments.

Segment by preferences and attributes

Combine behavioral data with customer attributes for precision targeting that drives engagement and conversions.

  • Product preferences: Group customers by favorite brands, categories, sizes, or price ranges
  • Location-based segments: Target by shipping region, local store, or time zone for relevant promotions
  • Device and channel: Segment by preferred shopping device and communication channel

Which means you can personalize not just what you say, but how and when you reach each customer segment.

Real-time dynamic segments

Your customer segments update automatically as behavior changes. No manual list management or stale data.

  • Instant updates: Customers move between segments the moment they take an action like purchasing, abandoning cart, or opening a message
  • Compound conditions: Combine multiple criteria with AND/OR logic to create highly specific segments
  • Historical data: Segment based on 365 days of behavior for seasonal campaigns and long-term patterns

This means your segments always reflect current customer reality, not outdated snapshots from last week’s export.

Activate segments across every channel

Once you build a segment, reach those customers on their preferred channels with consistent messaging.

  • Omnichannel campaigns: Send coordinated messages via push notifications, in-app messages, email, SMS, and WhatsApp
  • Channel preference: Automatically route to each customer’s most engaged channel
  • Segment-triggered journeys: Start automated sequences when customers enter or exit specific segments

So your segmentation strategy translates directly into personalized experiences across every customer touchpoint.

FAQ

Customer segmentation for e-commerce is the practice of dividing your shoppers into groups based on shared characteristics like purchase behavior, preferences, demographics, and engagement patterns. Instead of sending the same message to everyone, you target each segment with relevant offers and content.

Pushwoosh enables behavioral segmentation that goes beyond basic demographics. You can segment customers by what they actually do: items purchased, cart activity, browse behavior, purchase frequency, order value, and more. Segments update in real time as customers take actions, ensuring your targeting always reflects current behavior.
