VIN-Based Smart Segments Now Focus on Primary Owners

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.
