Successful Advocates
Who are my advocates who have shared and driven 1 high-quality outcome?
You can target your Successful Advocates with more marketing placements (onsite CTAs, promotional emails) to keep them sharing and driving more high-quality outcomes. Let's move them into the Revenue Drivers segment!
Revenue Drivers
Who are my advocates who have shared and driven 2 high-quality outcomes?
Similarly, target your Revenue Drivers with increased marketing placements (onsite CTAs, promotional emails) so that they stay active and engaged. The more prominent your program is and the easier it is to access the share experience, the more likely it is that these folks will move into your Super Advocates tier.
Super Advocates
Who are my advocates who have shared and driven 3-9 high-quality outcomes?
Your Super Advocates are special -- you should treat them differently, and perhaps with their own, unique program. This segment is a great candidate for an Influencer program!
Affiliates
Who are my advocates who have shared and driven 10+ high-quality outcomes?
Like your Super Advocates, your Affiliates would be a perfect audience for an Influencer program. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for them to share (i.e. deliver their share code in a personalized email, not an onsite share experience) and give them a heightened reward for doing so.
Biggest Network
Who has the deepest relationships?
Entice those in the Biggest Network segment to engage more by offering unique programs, like Nominate a Friend or Sweepstakes.
Most Engaged People
Who has the highest number of events?
Keep your Most Engaged People segment engaged and thank them for their activity with a Surprise and Delight program.
Referred Friends
Who has been shared with and what steps have they taken?
Remarket to these folks to get them to go on to convert and then become advocates themselves!
Successful Advocates, Revenue Drivers, Super Advocates, and Affiliates
Exporting the Successful Advocates, Revenue Drivers, Super Advocates, and Affiliates segments gives you a list of advocates in each segment with the following information:

How many activities they've performed.
How many people they've influenced.
How many actions they've influenced. Typically, these actions are outcomes (e.g., registrations, conversions, account openings, etc.).

For more on these segments, please see our Advocate Tiers article.
Biggest Network
Exporting the Biggest Network segment gives you a list of people who have a network size greater than 3, their network size, their network activity, the value of their network activity, their network size growth, and the most recent activity date of their network.
Audience Data
Network Size: The total count of all of a person's "child" relationships. This is determined based on all the data we have about the person. A person's network size never shrinks. The three time-based attributes of a network are network activity, value of network activity, and network size growth.
Network Activity: A count of the number of people that were active in the network during the specified time period. Being "active" means they performed an advocation (e.g. shared, dropped a hint, left a rating, left a review, etc.) or an outcome (e.g. registered, converted, opened an account, etc.).
Value of Network Activity: The total value of outcome events (e.g. registrations, conversions, account openings, etc.) during the specified time period.
Network Size Growth: the number of new relationships in the network for the specified time period. If an advocate refers a person who already has a network, then this growth number includes the friend's entire network.
Most Engaged People
The Most Engaged People segment gives you the ability to see which consumers are interacting with your brand, regardless of whether they are an advocate, a friend, or both. Activities include advocations (e.g. shares, hints dropped, ratings, reviews) as well as outcomes (e.g. registrations, conversions, account openings, etc.).
Audience Data
Exporting the Most Engaged people segment gives you the following information:
The date of the person's most recent activity
The date of the person's first activity
The date of the person's last activity
How many activities they've performed (e.g., the sum of advocations and outcomes)
How many advocations they've performed (e.g., shares, hints dropped, ratings, reviews)
How many outcomes they've performed (e.g., registrations, conversions, account openings)
The value of the outcomes they've performed
Referred Friends
The Referred Friends segment gives you the ability to see all of the consumers who were referred and the ability to retarget or engage them. You'll get information about the referred friends in this segment as well as the advocate who referred them. If multiple people refer the same friend, the most recent advocate is listed here.
