# Cohort

Cohort segmentation is a powerful analytical tool that allows businesses to group customers based on shared characteristics or experiences over a specific period. By analyzing these cohorts, you can gain valuable insights into customer behavior, trends, and lifecycle stages, enabling you to tailor your strategies more effectively.

Cohort segmentation involves grouping customers who share a common trait or experience within a defined time frame. This could include customers who made their first purchase in the same month, users who signed up during a particular promotional campaign, or those who interacted with a specific feature of your product.
