You can configure custom audiences for your experiments. These audiences can be later added to any experiment.

Why do you need Custom Audience?

 

At times, you might want to run experiments to analyze the behavior of a specific group of visitors to be able to provide better service.

• Your company might have specific offers to be applicable to a specific portion or region of visitors and you choose to analyze upon that particular group.
  
  
• You might choose to analyze user data from your own organization. In this case, you can create an experiment targeting a particular IP range of your firm.

Consider, Dryver as a mobile-based cab booking service provider. Dryver might choose to analyze the user behavior of Apple phone user at a particular time of the particular day in a particular city.

All default audience and most used audience options might not choose to cater to the needs of Dryver.
