How do I segment early bird customers?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm struggling to effectively identify and reward my most engaged customers who show early interest in my products. I want to create a systematic approach to recognize and incentivize these 'early bird' customers who are first to discover and purchase new items or participate in initial product launches. What strategies can I use to segment these valuable customers and create targeted marketing campaigns that encourage their continued loyalty and enthusiasm?
