# Audience Segments

> Send relevant marketing content to a targeted audience

Selecting an audience segment for text or email marketing means dividing your total patron list into smaller groups based on shared characteristics.

This allows you to send highly targeted and relevant content, which typically leads to better engagement and conversions.

## Create an Audience Segment

<Steps>
  <Step title="Build Before or During Campaign Creation">
    Audience segments can be built before or during the creation of an SMS or email campaign.

    Navigate to the **Dashboard** > **Marketing** > **Communications** > **Segments** > **Create** to build prior to campaign creation

    </Frame>

    Use AI to describe the audience segment you'd like to create. Use the manual builder to directly create the desired audience segment.

    <Note>
      Please note that the AI tool will not be able to predict customer behavior, but will only be able to use data it has already acquired.
    </Note>

    The following patron data is available to manipulate to create your customer segment:

    <CardGroup cols={3}>
      <Card title="Email Address" />

      <Card title="Phone Number" />

      <Card title="First Name" />

      <Card title="Last Name" />

      <Card title="Birthday" />

      <Card title="Lifetime Points">

      </Card>

      <Card title="Current Points">
        Current number of points the patron has
      </Card>

      <Card title="Number of Visits">
