Last updated: April 24, 2026

Custom Segments are user-defined segments built with AND / OR logic, allowing precise targeting based on behavior, performance, and timing.

Best for:

  • Advanced targeting

  • Product-specific strategies

  • Performance-based activation

  • Scaling creator programs with precision


Example 1: Top Creators by Hero PID Performance

Segment Definition Creators who:

  • Have posted content featuring the hero PID, and

  • Have generated ≥ X GMV from that PID

Use Cases

  • Launching new focus products tied to the same hero PID

  • Running promotions or bundles to boost AOV and creator earnings

  • Hero product relaunches that aim to scale without increasing sampling budget

  • Special campaigns (e.g. reaction, remix, or trend challenges)

Activation Strategies

  • Launch brand contests or GMV leaderboard challenges exclusively for this group

  • Use agents to:

    • Announce campaigns early

    • Build competitive momentum

  • Position these creators as priority partners to accelerate content adoption and GMV lift

Goal Maximize impact from proven creators who already convert on your hero product.


Example 2: High GMV Creators with Low Content Output

Segment Definition Creators who:

  • Have generated ≥ X GMV historically, but

  • Have posted fewer than X videos

Use Cases Targets creators with proven conversion ability but low posting frequency.

Activation Strategies

  • Re-engage using Target Collaboration or agent outreach

  • Offer a temporary commission boost (e.g. +5% for 30 days)

  • No free samples required — creators already have product experience

  • Focus messaging on:

    • Short-term upside

    • Low effort, high return based on past success

Goal Increase video output while saving on sample seeding.


Example 3: Inactive Creators (Previously Posted, Now Dormant)

Segment Definition Creators who:

  • Have posted at least once, but

  • Have not posted in the last X days

Use Cases Reactivates dormant creators who already understand the product but need a new reason to post.

Activation Strategies

  • Send a light reactivation message centered on:

    • Current promotions (flash sales, coupons, bundles, free gifts)

    • Seasonal or trend-driven angles

    • Limited-time incentives or contests

  • Pair outreach with a short posting challenge to reduce decision friction

Goal Re-activate creator output without additional sample seeding.


Example 4: Sample Received but No Content Posted (2+ Weeks)

Segment Definition Creators who:

  • Received an approved sample, but

  • Did not post content within 2 weeks

Use Cases Recovers stalled collaborations and improves overall sample ROI.

Activation Strategies

  • Use reminder-focused agents with:

    • Clear overdue reminders

    • Creator briefs or content references to remove uncertainty

  • If response remains low:

    • Move creators into a low-effort posting challenge, or

    • Exclude them from future sample seeding to protect budget efficiency (For details, refer to My Lists → Blocklist in the Help Center)

Goal Close the fulfillment loop and prevent ongoing sample leakage.


Example 5: Posting Challenges & Retainer-Style Activation

This example combines weekly posting challenges and retainer-style workflows, as both are designed to increase predictable content output.

Segment Definition Creators who:

  • Have posted before, and

  • Meet minimum performance criteria (e.g. ≥ 1 sale or ≥ X GMV in the past 30 days)

Use Cases

  • Driving short-term content volume

  • Creating semi-retainer behavior without long-term contracts

  • Stabilizing output from reliable creators

Activation Strategies

  • Define clear requirements:

    • Posting frequency (e.g. 7 posts within the challenge period)

    • Minimum performance thresholds

  • Reward creators with:

    • Cash incentives

    • Temporary commission boosts via Target Collaboration

      • Commission automatically reverts to Open Collaboration after expiration

  • Continuously monitor performance via Segments and renew incentives only for top contributors

Goal Increase video volume and GMV predictability while keeping incentive spend controlled.
