Segmentation is best used for those who want to understand who is engaging with their content.
These are a few examples of what you can do using beehiiv's segmentation tool:
1. How many subscribers came from Twitter last month? And are they more engaged than subscribers who came from LinkedIn?
2. How many people have opened 100% of my newsletters?
3. Are these TikTok ads working?
4. How many total people have opened a newsletter in the past 30 days?
With Segments you can answer all of these questions and more. We've built an incredibly powerful segmentation engine where you can drill down several layers deep to derive the insights you want, and then analyze the aggregate level data on these segments.
There are three types of segments you can create:
Static— which aggregates subscribers at the time of creation and does NOT update
Dynamic— which updates frequently as additional subscribers meet the requirements and are added or existing subscribers no longer meet the requirements and are removed
Manual— which is based on a list of specific subscribers you want to manually import and does NOT update over time
To access Segmentation, just visit the Audience tab in your navbar and click on Segmentation.

Which resulted in something like this:
