Example: send email using a filter

If you were the owner of a specialty golf shop and receive new Titleist stock, the following examples shows how to send an email announcing the new stock to your Titleist customers.

  1. Target the right audience – As a specialty shop that prides itself on knowing what your customers are looking for, you want to avoid sending an email to everyone and instead create a customer segment that only consists of individuals interested in the Titleist brand. The segment could look at the last brand that a customer viewed or purchased. You create a segment based on the last viewed brand.

  2. Create a Titleist product filter – With the audience selected, ensure that the email only includes references to your Titleist stock by creating a product filter based on the brand.
