Segments are a powerful tool that you can use to filter out contacts based on specific criteria. This is especially useful when targeting contacts that meet certain characteristics and preferences.
Moreover, segments allow you to perform various actions on these filtered contacts. For example, you can send email campaigns that are tailored to their interests and behavior. This is a great way to increase engagement and conversions, as it shows your contacts that you understand their needs and are willing to provide them with relevant content.
