Useful segments for D2C are behavioural and few: champions, repeat buyers, new customers, those due a second order, at-risk regulars, one-time buyers and lapsed customers. Each has a different job: reward, nudge, onboard, convert, win back.

A segment is only useful if it changes what you send. Start with the segment that has the most revenue within reach, usually customers due a second order.
