Insights Behavioral: Create a Cohort of Active Customers Based on Starting Month
One of the most useful analyses you can create about your subscription business is a customer cohort analysis based on starting month. You can perform a cohort analysis in Insights by creating a segment.
This tutorial demonstrates how to use Insights to create a segment that includes all of your accounts that started their first subscription in January 2015 and are still active.
Before you complete this tutorial, you should complete Create a Cohort of Customers Based on Starting Month.
To create the segment:
-
View the accounts in the "Cohort: Start Month: 2015-01" segment that you created in Create a Cohort of Customers Based on Starting Month, then click Options and select Edit Segment Criteria.
The segment builder opens.
