Behavioral Targeting
Personalize your messages with behavior-based marketing
When you use behavioral targeting in your marketing strategy, you can send your audience messages that are more relevant to their needs.
Fine‑tune your audience segments with behavioral targeting
Make your targeting more precise and increase relevance when you layer on behavioral data as segmentation criteria. You can build segments based on how your audience has engaged with your Mailchimp website , your app, your campaigns, or their prior purchase behavior.
With behavioral data from your website you can create relevant campaigns based on where users navigate—if, for example, you want to recontact visitors to your yoga page with a special offer for a free yoga class.
Create more personalized campaigns with less effort
With the behavioral marketing tool in Mailchimp, you can automate targeted messages in response to specific actions. Send a welcome message to introduce new signups and customers to your brand, or a related product recommendation for a recent buyer. And if you're pulling in behavioral data from your web or mobile app, behavior-based marketing automation can help you scale your marketing without doing the work every time.

A segment, on the other hand, is a filter you can apply to your audience in order to narrow the list down based on certain data points. For instance, you can use segments to filter your list based on factors such as location, group membership, signup source, and more.

This can be a valuable asset as you build marketing campaigns and establish a brand identity.
To be successful in behavior based marketing, you must have the right targeting tools. With behavioral marketing software like Mailchimp, you can create targeted messages that genuinely connect with customers.
