Among the demographic data which can be easily collected from your customers and will influence your communication's effectiveness is gender. After all, people of different genders tend to have different interests and pay attention to different aspects of a product. What attracts one does not necessarily attract the other.
With edrone, you can find your customers' gender in their Customer Profile. The available definitions are: male, female, refused to pass, unknown, and other.
How to collect gender data?
There are five ways to add your customer's gender to their profile in edrone:
1. Manually
After opening your customer's profile, you can manually update their gender data in the About section:
2. Subscription forms
You can add a gender field in your Pop-ups and Web Layers:
3. Email
You can use gender buttons to ask your customers to inform their gender when you send them emails. To do this, add a button for each gender option and select the corresponding gender from the Action Type menu.

How to segment by gender?
After collecting your contacts' gender information and adding it to your CRM, you can use this data to segment your Dynamic Newsletters.
To do so, while creating a Dynamic Newsletter, go to the AUDIENCE section, select GENDER from the Audience type menu, and then select the desired gender from the Gender menu. That's all there is to it! Your email will be sent only to the customers assigned to the selected gender.
