Behavioral Targeting

Turn people’s actions into personalized marketing

When you use behavioral targeting, you can send people messages that are more relevant to their needs.

Fine‑tune your audience segments

Make your targeting more precise and increase relevance when you layer on behavioral data as segmentation criteria. You can build segments based on how your audience has engaged with your Mailchimp website , your app, your campaigns, or their prior purchase behavior.

With behavioral data from your website you can create relevant campaigns based on where users navigate—if, for example, you want to recontact visitors to your yoga page with a special offer for a free yoga class.

Create more personalized campaigns with less effort

With behavioral marketing in Mailchimp you can automate targeted messages in response to specific actions, like a welcome message to introduce new signups to your brand, or a related product recommendation for a recent buyer. And if you’re pulling in behavioral data from your web or mobile app, behavior-based automations can help you scale your marketing without doing the work every time.
