First place to look is your Essentials tab!
It’s the collection of your most important metrics that’ll help you understand your business – from crucial retention data like Repurchase Rate by Cohort to super detailed product analytics like Market Basket Analysis and so much more:
This is the best place to start to get a feel for the metrics that live in Peel and the perfect way to start digging into your product, customer and campaign performance.
Segmenting helps you zoom in!
Any of the reports you look at in Peel can be segmented to look at specific values like products, SKUs, specific customer tags, channels, and more.
The best part of this process is that it’s super easy. All you do is select the “Segment Analysis” option on any of your metrics.
From there, you get a pop up menu with dozens of filters. Choose from values like, products, locations, campaigns, customers, and more. Literally whatever you want to zoom into for the given metric!
Once you’ve selected the values you want to filter for, just hit “Apply Filters” and you’ll see that graph or table segmented for what you’ve selected.
This is perfect for answering questions like:
- What’s my cohort LTV for customers who bought a specific product?
- How has my most recent discount campaign impacted AOV?
- How’s my Repurchase Rate after 6 months in a specific geo?
And so much more! You’ll get a visual that instantly shows you the data that you’re trying to zoom into. All you have to do is choose your segment filters!

Customer segments done entirely for you!
Now that you know how to build custom segments in your metrics, there’s an even easier way to look at customer segments: RFM Analysis!
RFM Analysis lives on your Peel homepage and gives you a snapshot of 10 automated customer groups that are broken up based on their loyalty levels and recent purchasing habits. Each of those can be turned into an Audience in 1 click!
TLDR: It’s out-of-the-box customer segmentation to fuel your personalized marketing campaigns.

Building customer Audiences just got easier.
If you want to dig deeper and create custom Audiences, all you have to do is choose Audiences on your left menu, and choose from dozens of filters to find the exact pocket of customers you want to closely monitor.
Filters include any of the dimensions from your data, including product-specific data, customer info, locations, and more.
After you select your filters and choose “Create Audience” your view will look like this:
Your Audiences view allows you to track that group’s growth over time AND lets you push that group as a list to Klaviyo or FB for retargeting campaigns.
All you have to do is click “Send” in the upper right corner of your Audience and you can choose which platform you’d like to push to!
Here’s a full article on Audiences if you want to go a little deeper!

The templates library is where you’ll find pre-made Dashboards, Slices (special reports with multiple dimensions analyzed) & Audiences.
It’s incredibly easy to use; just choose the template that you want to add to your Peel account and click to add it. Literally one click!
You’ll find pre-made dashboards that focus on specific types of customers and channels. Slices that dig deeper into the nitty gritty of your data. And unique Audiences that are the perfect fuel for launching your next Klaviyo or FB campaign.
