Why retail chains ask this
Head office and stores both want to message the same customers. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when member days, promotions and store level offers stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is campaigns that show up in same week footfall. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.

Is this different for retail chains?
