The 5 essential segments every business needs
1. New subscribers (0–30 days): in welcome sequence, don't send broadcast. 2. Engaged (opened in last 90 days): your core audience. 3. Unengaged (no open in 90–180 days): re-engagement campaign only. 4. Buyers/customers: different messaging, focus on retention. 5. Churned: win-back sequence.

Segment by behaviour, not demographics
Clicked on pricing page 3×: price-sensitive, send comparison content. Opened every email about feature X: interested in X, send deep-dive content. Never clicked any email in 30 days: reduce send frequency. Behavioural segments are 3–5× more accurate than demographic ones.

Test segments before you scale
Send a segment test: same email to Engaged vs. Unengaged. Expected result: Engaged opens at 40%, Unengaged opens at 8%. If your Unengaged segment is larger than Engaged, your list has a health problem that no subject line trick will fix.
