Audiences Overview

Audiences define groups of consumers who can access your experiences. Use audiences to target specific customer segments, create exclusive access, and personalize the experience for different groups.

Accessing Audiences

Best Practices

Naming Conventions

Use clear, descriptive names:
  • Include the targeting criteria
  • Add date ranges for time-limited audiences
  • Prefix with category (e.g., “VIP - Gold Members”)

Audience Strategy

  1. Start broad, then narrow - Begin with general audiences
  2. Use dynamic when possible - Rules auto-update membership
  3. Clean up unused audiences - Remove old, unused segments
  4. Document your logic - Add descriptions explaining criteria

Performance Considerations

  • Large static audiences (100k+) may take longer to load
  • Complex dynamic rules impact experience load times
  • Consider breaking very large audiences into segments
