Why small businesses ask this
No marketing department, but customers to reach. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when offers, reminders and opening hour changes stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is a channel you can run yourself in ten minutes. 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 small businesses?
The mechanics are the same. What changes is the volume and the timing, because small businesses mostly send offers, reminders and opening hour changes.
