The Market Segmentation Suite extension allows you to create as many rules as you need to filter customers and orders in accordance with any parameter.

The following bug has been fixed in Market Segmentation Suite:

If you want to get some more information, please visit the Market Segmentation Suite page.

Successful businessmen know that 80 percent of their business comes from 20 percent of their customers. They also understand that maintaining good relationships with existing customers takes a lot less money and will be paid off handsomely.

Fred Reichheld (author of “Loyalty Rules”) affirms that a mere 5% increase in customer retention can result in a 75% increase in customer value. Impressive enough to ignore the role of loyalty, isn’t it?

But customer loyalty can’t be bought – it can be only earned by your caring attitude towards them. The Follow Up Email extension from aheadWorks is the very tool to help you always stay in touch with your customers and enlarge the retention of your current consumers.

With new feature – the Market Segmentation Suite extension integration – implemented in the latest version of Follow Up Email you will never lose track of your customers whatever they order, add to wishlist or leave in abandoned cart.

Specify the rule, define Market Segmentation Suite condition and your follow-up emails will be sent automatically to customers when, for example:

• total sales amount of the products in cart equals or greater than $1000
• T-Shirt from Dolce & Gabbana for $395 is added to wishlist
• HTC Touch Diamond is in the abandoned cart
• and so on

Thus sending follow-up emails becomes №1 in your plan of building customer loyalty and allows your customers to feel that they are treated with all possible care and respect.

The following bugs have been fixed in the latest version of Follow Up Email as well:

• Incorrect processing of “Advanced Newsletter – Send only to subscribers of segments” rule option
• Link Tracking grid sorting
• Product type label displaying
• adminhtml.xml added
• Incorrect work of rule when Sale Amount condition is set to “Doesn’t matter”
• Sender details default value in general settings
• Edit rule page error when Advanced Newsletter extension disabled
• Z-Blocks extension reference

You can find more information about Follow Up Email on the extension page.

Note: Market Segmentation Suite is a separate aheadWorks extension and does NOT go with the Follow Up Email package.

Today we are glad to announce the release of Z-Blocks v.2.2. The primary feature added in the new version and making the extension more flexible is the Market Segmentation Suite extension integration.

This new feature makes blocks 100% customizable – you can specify not only where and when z-blocks will appear, but whom they will be shown to.

A great variety of MSS conditions allows you to execute your marketing and merchandising strategies with pinpoint accuracy. Make the blocks displayed to target audience basing on any criterea you set up: number of products added to cart, total sum of the products bought, customers’ information, etc.

Create the proper MSS rule and the block will be displayed:

• on the Shopping Cart page when customer adds several products to cart

 



 

• in the content top of the page on customer’s birthday

 



 

• on the Category page when customer has already bought a certain product

 



 

You can even specify a combination of conditions what makes blocks displaying even more targeted and personalized.

The following bugs have been fixed in the latest version of Z-Blocks as well:

• Incorrect message in admin section after block deleting
• Incorrect number of displayed records when several blocks have no content items

Please find more information on the extension page.

Information -> Intelligence -> Knowledge -> Merchandising & Marketing Power

aheadWorks’ Market Segmentation Suite takes the concept of customer segmentation to a whole new level. Whether you choose to target your customers on a one-to-one (personalized) or one-to-many (customer group) basis, you control with precision who sees what and when based on what you know about them. Use your understanding of a visitor’s propensity to buy to maximize the probability of a purchase.

With the Market Segmentation Suite extension by aheadWorks you can:

Market more effectively and efficiently
Accurately segment your target audience based on criteria you set up and export these segmented lists for marketing using the most appropriate channels and methods for each segment.

Take control with the innumerable rule setting options and flexibility
Set up targeting rules based on multiple conditions encompassing one or many of these broad parameters:

• Customer personal details including name, address, date of birth
• Newsletter subscription details
• Product details including:
• view and order history
• shopping cart items
• wishlist records

To give some simple examples of the possibilities, you could segment and export

• customers from the US who have spent more than $300 and viewed a product more than 2 times; or

 



 

• customer(s) from a specific ZIP code with a shopping cart value less than $100 who have viewed a product X; or

 



 

• customers within a certain group from a certain country with certain item(s) in the shoppig cart.

 

Now consider combining several such conditions into a targeting rule, and we hope you get an idea of the possibilities for precision targeting.

Build customer loyalty
Let the customer always perceive the human touch of somebody who knows him intimately, using the precise segmentation to point him to items that are of greatest interest or use to him. Such customer orientation is bound to foster immense loyalty, which will translate into tangible benefits in terms of sales and referrals.
