# What Are Some Use Cases for Segmentation?

> Use cases on how to fully utilize Customer Segmentation combined with other Gameball features.

| Platform             | Plan                 |
| -------------------- | -------------------- |
| Shopify              | Starter, Pro, & Guru |
| Salla                | Pro, & Guru          |
| Non-platform clients | Growth & Enterprise  |

Segmentation is one of the most impactful tools you can use to personalize your marketing efforts and increase return on investment (ROI). With Gameball's segmentation feature, you can identify and act on specific customer behaviors, interests, and engagement levels to optimize your communication and retention tactics.

Targeting the mass market without distinction is no longer an effective approach. Instead, focusing on well-defined customer segments allows you to deliver the right message to the right audience.

## Customer Segments and Tactics

Gameball enables you to identify and engage with multiple customer segments. Below are four common and highly valuable segments, along with tactics to improve their engagement:

| Segment                     | Description                                                                             |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **The Champions**           | Your top-performing VIP customers who contribute a significant portion of your revenue. |
| **Product Viewers**         | Customers who explore your products but do not proceed to checkout.                     |
| **Slipping Away Customers** | Customers who are showing signs of churn and disengagement.                             |
| **The Buyer**               | Segments customers into groups based on different purchasing behavior.                  |

## The Buyer: Product-Level Order Segmentation

You can create **highly targeted and personalized campaigns** by analyzing **specific product purchase behavior**. Segment customers based on the exact products and quantities purchased in actual orders.

For example:

* Target customers who purchased a specific SKU.
* Segment customers buying a particular category or high-quantity product.

**Product Line Item Filters:**

| Filter                 | Description                                       |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Product ID**         | Target customers who purchased a specific product |
| **SKU**                | Filter by stock-keeping unit                      |
| **Category**           | Segment by product category                       |
| **Collection**         | Target purchasers from a specific collection      |
| **Product Title**      | Filter by product name                            |
| **Quantity Purchased** | Filter by the quantity purchased per product      |
| **Price**              | Filter by price per line item                     |
