Smart Segments now provides improved accuracy for VIN-based targeting by returning only the primary owner for each vehicle. This ensures that dealers’ segments align with expectations and counts match the number of VINs uploaded.
How it works:
Dealers can input VINs into a Smart Segment filter.
The system identifies all customer profiles linked to each VIN.
Only the primary owner, the customer who most recently brought the vehicle in for service, is included in the segment.
For example, Person A purchased the vehicle last year, but Person B brought the vehicle in for service last month. The primary owner is Person B.
Other associated profiles (e.g., spouses, parent/child) are excluded.
Benefits for dealers:
Accurate segment counts: Each VIN now corresponds to a single customer, ensuring segment counts match the number of VINs uploaded.
Targeted campaigns: Marketing campaigns sent to VIN-based segments will reach only the primary owner, improving messaging relevance and avoiding duplicates.
Consistent behavior: Segments now behave predictably, reducing confusion and enabling better campaign ROI.
Note: Segment counts may still differ if duplicate VINs exist in the dealer’s upload file.
