Push your weekend regulars segment to email, SMS and paid ads
What the answer looks like
Illustrative output on sample data
Illustrative example: how Lexi answers this for a craft beer bar group with eight venues. It uses the existing weekend regulars segment, matched across POS tabs, reservations and loyalty.
- Segment: guests with six or more Friday or Saturday visits in six months
- Size: 7,400 guests
- With email consent: 5,900, sent to Mailchimp
- With SMS consent: 3,200, sent to Attentive
- Matched on hashed email and phone: 6,100, sent to Meta and Google Ads
What the data shows
Every channel now receives the same regulars, filtered by the consent each one needs.
What it means
Results from email, SMS and ads can be compared directly, since they reach the same group.
What to do
Set the segment to refresh weekly in every platform, so new regulars are added and lapsed ones drop out.

Why it matters
When each channel builds its own version of a segment, email, SMS and ads end up talking to different people. Pushing one matched segment to every platform keeps the audience consistent, saves rebuilding it four times and lets you compare results across channels fairly.
Frequently asked questions
Why push one segment to every marketing channel?
Building the same audience separately in each tool leads to different lists, because each tool sees different data. One matched segment sent everywhere means every channel reaches the same guests, results line up, and nobody has to rebuild the list by hand.
How is consent handled when pushing a segment to several channels?
Each channel gets only the guests who agreed to it. Email platforms receive guests with email consent, SMS platforms those with SMS consent, and ad platforms only guests who have not opted out of ad targeting, sent in hashed form.
How often should a pushed segment refresh?
Weekly suits most restaurant segments, so new regulars are added and lapsed guests drop out quickly. Faster-moving segments, such as guests due a reminder, may need a daily refresh to stay accurate. Check segment size after each refresh to catch errors early.
