What is on the screen
A list of your audiences, and an editor for building one. Conditions are added a row at a time, each one a fact about the guest: whether they are in-house now, whether they have stayed with children, their nationality, an upcoming reservation, a booking they left unfinished, a tag you keep on them, and whether they have agreed to e-mail or WhatsApp. The count sits beside them, and it is two numbers, not one:
Where the count cannot be produced, the screen says it could not look rather than showing a zero.
What you do here
1
Start with one condition and watch the number
An empty audience counts nothing. Add one condition, read the count, then narrow.
2
Read the reachable figure, not the match figure
“Matches 400” and “reachable by e-mail: 30” are the same audience. The second is what will happen.
3
Name it for the message it is for
“Families arriving next month” is a name your colleague can act on; “Audience 3” is not.
