Segmentation features built for gaming marketers

Segment players by spending tier and value

Identify your whales, dolphins, minnows, and non-payers to deliver offers matched to their spending patterns. Target high-value players with exclusive rewards while nurturing free players toward first purchase.

  • RFM segmentation: Automatically categorize players by Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value for precise targeting
  • LTV-based segments: Predict player lifetime value and allocate engagement resources accordingly
  • Purchase history: Segment by IAP frequency, total spend, preferred item types, and time since last purchase

This means you can maximize ARPDAU by delivering the right offer to each player based on their actual value and purchase behavior.

Target players by in-game behavior

Go beyond install date and demographics with behavioral segments that reflect how players actually engage with your game.

  • Session patterns: Daily players vs. weekend warriors, long sessions vs. quick plays, morning vs. evening gamers
  • Progression stage: Tutorial phase, mid-game grind, endgame content, completionists vs. casual explorers
  • Feature engagement: Social sharers, PvP enthusiasts, collectors, competitive players, solo adventurers

So you can personalize messages based on what players actually do, increasing relevance and conversion rates.

Build dynamic segments with visual segment builder

Create sophisticated audience segments without writing code. Pushwoosh’s visual marketing segmentation tool lets your team build and iterate on player segments independently.

  • Drag-and-drop conditions: Combine attributes, events, and behaviors with AND/OR logic for precise targeting
  • Real-time updates: Segments recalculate automatically as player behavior changes
  • Historical data: Segment based on up to 365 days of player activity for long-term patterns

Which means your marketing team can test new segmentation strategies without waiting for developer support.

Combine segmentation with event-triggered messaging

Use segments as entry conditions for automated campaigns that react to player behavior in real-time.

  • Segment + trigger combos: Send special offers only to high-value players when they complete a level
  • Exit segment automation: Automatically stop campaigns when players move to a different segment
  • Cross-segment journeys: Create different paths based on player segment with branching logic

So you can deliver 1-to-1 personalized experiences at scale, boosting conversion rates across every player type.
