Groups allow users to categorize their contacts. You can create a group when importing contacts or add the group later and designated contacts as needed.
Ex: I am importing a file of contacts from company ABC, I create a groups ABC upon import to keep the company contacts together.
Creating groups also allows account owners to send campaigns to contacts.
Ex: I want to send an email campaign to all of my contacts who are prospects, as they will require different information than an existing customer.
