This is part of our advanced Segmented Merchandising feature.
Once you've gotten set up, it's time to start merchandising on segments!
Creating a Segment-only campaign
A segment-only campaign is useful to make broad changes that will affect all shoppers within a specific segment.
To begin, click "Create a Campaign" from the main Visual Merchandising page. Select "Segment", then enter the tag you'd like to use to identify this segment. Don't worry, you can change this later.
Be sure to give your campaign a name, and you're good to begin merchandising! The tools available to you for segment merchandising are Boosts & Banners.
Editing the segment
You can edit the tag you're using to identify this segment by going to the Context toolbox and clicking the edit icon to the right of the segment.
Note: If you don't see the Segment tab, reach out to your customer success representative to discuss how to move forward with this feature.
Merchandising a specific page for a segment
If you'd like to merchandise a specific segment/page combination, first create a normal search or category campaign. From there, go to the Context toolbox and select the Segment tab.
Set up your segment tag here, and you're all set to merchandise that specific context. You can edit or remove a segment from a search or category campaign at any time.
Once a segment is set, you will see Segment appear in the list under the Campaign Scenario as a reminder that this campaign is only affecting this segment/page combination.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is there any reporting?
Currently, Searchspring does not yet offer direct reporting to reflect segmentation in merchandising. If you would like to track the performance between the different segments you are merchandising, you can easily do so by sending your segment tags to Google Analytics at the same time you send them to Searchspring.

What if I want to use more than one segment at a time? (Advanced)
In some cases, you may want to use more than one segment simultaneously for your shoppers, such as identifying a shopper by both gender and location. It is possible to do so, however there is not currently a way to identify which segments are more important than others, and so it is important to understand the caveats.
Multiple segments cannot merge the same type of campaign setting.
You have a segment campaign to show a banner to your logged-in shoppers, and another campaign to show a different banner to all women shoppers.
Which banner would show for a woman who is logged in? Since there is not currently a way to determine if one of these is the more important segment, the oldest campaign will take precedence.
However, multiple segments can use different types of campaign settings together.
You have a campaign to show a banner to your logged-in shoppers, and another campaign with a boost rule to prioritize women's products to all women shoppers.
Since banners and boosts are entirely separate settings, there is no conflict. A woman who is logged in would be shown women's products and the banner.
