A Comprehensive Guide to Efficient Telegram Group Operation: How to Classify Users Precisely with Tags and Quickly Identify High-Value Potential Customers?

In cross-border private domain operations, Telegram groups serve as core platforms for enterprises to accumulate users and deliver value. However, as group scales expand, issues such as "mixed user bases, scattered demands, and high-value customers being overshadowed" gradually emerge. Without effective user classification, the information sent will either "go unresponded" or "arouse resentment". As a "refined tool" for Telegram group operation, tags enable enterprises to classify users precisely based on dimensions like user needs, behaviors, and attributes, making operational actions more targeted. More importantly, in Telegram group operations, manual tagging alone is inefficient and error-prone. It is necessary to combine tags with the ITG Global Screening tool to automate the entire process from "user group entry" to "tag application", quickly screening out high-value potential customers from a large number of group users and turning Telegram groups into genuine "customer mining pools" for enterprises.

I. Recognizing the Value of Tags: Why Tags Are Indispensable for Telegram Group Operation?

Before launching tag-based Telegram group operations, it is essential to clarify the core role of tags in group management and customer mining, avoiding the trap of "tagging for the sake of tagging":

Solving the Problem of Mixed Users: A 500-member Telegram group may include different types of users such as "potential customers, interested customers, paying customers, and industry peers". Tags (e.g., "Potential - Cross-Border E-Commerce", "Paying - Education") allow for quick differentiation, preventing the delivery of core discounts to peers or overly professional after-sales content to potential customers;

Improving the Precision of Information Delivery: Under the traditional "mass broadcast" model, the information reach rate is often below 30%. In contrast, delivering content to tagged users (e.g., sending new product sample information to users with the "Interested - Beauty" tag) can increase the reach rate to over 70%. A cross-border beauty brand achieved a jump in group conversion rate from 5% to 18% through tag-based delivery;

Quickly Identifying High-Value Customers: High-value customers typically exhibit characteristics such as "high activity, frequent interaction, and precise demands". By combining tags (e.g., "Activity ≥ 5 times/week + Inquired about pricing + Industry - Cross-Border SaaS"), target customers can be screened out from thousands of group users within 10 minutes, significantly reducing operational costs.

II. Practical Steps for Tag-Based Telegram Group Operation: A Four-Step Process from Creation to Application

Step 1: Defining Tag Dimensions - Based on the Full User Lifecycle

A scientific tag system is the foundation of precise classification. It is necessary to set multi-dimensional tags based on "user group entry scenarios, behavioral performance, and demand characteristics" of Telegram group users. Common dimensions include:

Basic Attribute Tags: Recording core user information such as "Region - Southeast Asia (Indonesia)", "Industry - Cross-Border E-Commerce", and "Position - Procurement Manager". Such tags can be collected via group entry questionnaires or supplemented with user registration data through ITG Global Screening;

Behavioral Interaction Tags: Reflecting the activity level of users in Telegram groups, e.g., "Activity - High (≥ 5 interactions/week)", "Activity - Medium (3-4 interactions/week)", "Interaction Behavior - Inquired about product functions", "Interaction Behavior - Participated in live broadcasts". These can be automatically counted using backend data of Telegram groups;

Demand & Interest Tags: Marking users' core demands and interest levels, such as "Demand - Cross-Border Logistics", "Interest - High (Inquired about quotations)", "Interest - Low (Only browsed materials)", "Unclear Demand - To Be Followed Up". These need to be supplemented with manual communication records and user browsing traces from ITG Global Screening;

Conversion Stage Tags: Categorizing users according to their conversion stages, e.g., "Potential Customer - No Inquiry", "Interested Customer - Inquired but Not Purchased", "Paying Customer - First Order", "Repeat Customer - ≥ 2 Orders". This helps operators develop targeted follow-up strategies.

A cross-border education institution used the above four-dimensional tags to divide 2,000 group users into 80 segmented groups, improving the precision of subsequent course promotions by 40%.

Step 2: Tag Creation & Assignment - Combining Manual and Automatic Methods to Improve Efficiency

Tag creation for Telegram groups must balance "precision" and "efficiency". A "manual supplement + automatic assignment" model is recommended:

Manually Creating Core Tags: In the Telegram group management backend, navigate to "User Management - Tag Settings" to manually create core tags for basic attributes and demand interests (e.g., "Region - Europe (Germany)", "Demand - Chinese Courses"). Each tag should have a clear definition to avoid ambiguity (e.g., "Activity - High" should be clearly defined as "Sending ≥ 5 messages/week or participating in ≥ 3 polls/week in the group");

Automatically Assigning High-Frequency Tags: Connect to the ITG Global Screening tool to realize automatic assignment of behavioral interaction tags and conversion stage tags. ITG Global Screening can real-time capture user interaction data in Telegram groups (e.g., number of messages sent, number of links clicked) and automatically assign "Activity - High/Medium/Low" tags to users. At the same time, combined with users' browsing records on the enterprise official website (e.g., whether they viewed the "course registration page"), it automatically updates "conversion stage tags";

Batch Correcting Tag Errors: Regularly verify tag accuracy through ITG Global Screening. For example, if a user is tagged as "Activity - High" but ITG data shows no interaction in the group in the past 30 days, the system will automatically remind operators to correct the tag to "Activity - Low", ensuring tag timeliness.

A cross-border e-commerce enterprise's Tel发小抄袭egram group improved tag creation efficiency by 60% and reduced the error rate from 15% to 3% using the "manual + automatic" model.

Step 3: Tag Application - Three Scenarios to Identify High-Value Customers

The core value of Telegram group tags lies in their application. Through combined tag screening, high-value customers can be quickly identified in the following scenarios:

Precise Information Delivery: Deliver differentiated content to users with different tags. For example, send preferential policies for cross-border payments in Southeast Asia to users with the "Region - Southeast Asia + Demand - Cross-Border Payment + Interest - High" tags; send entry-level product materials and limited-time benefits to users with the "Activity - Low + Potential Customer" tags to reactivate user engagement. A cross-border SaaS enterprise increased the information open rate of its Telegram group from 25% to 65% through tag-based delivery;

High-Value Customer Screening: Screen high-value potential customers by combining multiple tags. For instance, in a cross-border logistics Telegram group, screen users with the "Region - Europe + Demand - Sea Freight + Interest - High (Inquired about pricing) + Activity - High" tags. Such users are usually high-value potential customers and should be prioritized by operators. A cross-border logistics enterprise screened 300 high-value customers from 5,000 group users using this combined tag strategy, achieving a subsequent conversion rate of 28%;

Reactivating Inactive Users: Screen users with the "Activity - Low (＜ 1 interaction in the past 30 days) + Previous Demand (tag includes "Demand - Cross-Border E-Commerce")" tags, send exclusive benefits (e.g., "10% discount for inactive users"), and conduct one-on-one private message follow-ups to reactivate them. A cross-border beauty brand reactivated 30% of inactive users through this strategy, with 15% converting into interested customers.

Step 4: Tag Optimization & Iteration - Dynamic Adjustment Based on Operational Results

The tag system for Telegram groups needs to be dynamically optimized based on operational data to avoid outdated or redundant tags:

Deleting Invalid Tags: Monthly, count the application frequency of each tag. If a tag (e.g., "Demand - Outdated Product Features") is not used for information delivery or customer screening for 3 consecutive months, delete it promptly to reduce tag redundancy;

Refining High-Frequency Tags: If the number of users with a certain tag (e.g., "Demand - Cross-Border Logistics") is too large (exceeding 500), further refine it (e.g., "Demand - Cross-Border Logistics - Sea Freight", "Demand - Cross-Border Logistics - Air Freight", "Demand - Cross-Border Logistics - Dedicated Line") to improve precision;

Adjusting Tag Standards: Modify tag definitions based on operational results. For example, if the conversion rate of users with the "Activity - High" tag is only 8%, lower than expected, adjust the standard for "Activity - High" to "≥ 7 interactions/week and ≥ 2 clicks on promotion links/week" to screen out more precise high-activity users.

III. Synergistic Advantages of ITG Global Screening and Telegram Group Tags

Supplementing Tag Data Dimensions: The Telegram group backend can only access user interaction data within the group. ITG Global Screening can supplement user behavioral data from other enterprise platforms (e.g., official website browsing records, APP usage traces) to enrich tags. For example, if a user views the "cross-border logistics quotation page" on the official website, ITG can synchronously supplement the user's Telegram group tag with "Demand - Cross-Border Logistics - Interested";

Improving Tag Assignment Efficiency: Manually tagging 1,000 Telegram group users requires 3 people working for 2 days. ITG Global Screening enables batch automatic assignment, completing tag updates for 1,000 users within 1 hour, increasing efficiency by 144 times;

Ensuring Tag Compliance: ITG Global Screening has built-in global data compliance templates. When supplementing user tag data, it automatically verifies compliance with local regulations (e.g., the EU GDPR requires user authorization before data collection), preventing Telegram group tag operations from violating compliance rules.

IV. Practical Cases: Improved Results of Tag-Based Telegram Group Operation

Case 1: Cross-Border E-Commerce Enterprise (Target Market: Southeast Asia)

Pain Points: The Telegram group had 3,000 users without tag classification. Mass broadcast of new product information resulted in a reach rate of only 20% and a conversion rate of 3%, with high-value customers overshadowed;

Solutions: ① Establish a four-dimensional tag system of "Basic Attributes + Behavioral Interaction + Demand & Interest + Conversion Stage"; ② Connect to ITG Global Screening for automatic assignment of "activity tags" and "demand tags"; ③ Weekly, screen users with the "Region - Southeast Asia (Indonesia) + Demand - Women's Clothing + Interest - High + Activity - Medium" tags and send exclusive discounts;

Results: The information reach rate increased to 75%, the conversion rate rose to 15%, 150 high-value customers were screened from the group monthly, and the number of new orders grew by 80% year-on-year.

Case 2: Cross-Border SaaS Enterprise (Target Market: Europe)

Pain Points: The Telegram group had 1,500 users. Manual tagging was inefficient with an 18% error rate, making it impossible to follow up with high-interest customers in a timely manner;

Solutions: ① Manually create tags such as "Industry - E-Commerce/Logistics" and "Demand - Management Software Functions"; ② Use ITG Global Screening to automatically capture user interaction data, assign "Activity - High/Low" tags, and update "Interest - High/Low" tags based on official website browsing records; ③ Daily, screen users with the "Industry - E-Commerce + Demand - Inventory Management + Interest - High + Activity - High" tags and arrange one-on-one follow-ups by sales staff;

Results: The tag error rate dropped to 2%, the timely follow-up rate for high-interest customers increased by 90%, the number of software trial applications grew by 60%, and the conversion rate rose by 25%.
