Should I have different offers for different customer segments?

I'm struggling to determine whether I should create targeted discount offers for different customer segments or use a one-size-fits-all approach. My e-commerce business has diverse customer types - new customers, repeat buyers, high-value customers, and occasional shoppers. I want to optimize my promotional strategy to increase conversions and customer loyalty without overwhelming or alienating any particular group. What are the strategic considerations for segmenting discount offers, and how can I implement this effectively without creating complexity?
