# Setting Up Groups

Groups in Mailer Lite are individual lists you create to help organize your contacts. Using groups allows you to target your emails to a smaller list of subscribers based on their interests. Groups are often referred to as tags, lists, or audiences in other email marketing platforms. Whenever you create a form, landing page, website or schedule a campaign, you will be asked to select the target group.

When using Societal Labs, we recommend you set up a Group for every Community, whether private or public, you have in your platform. This allows you to target users based on what community they belong to. 

Of course, this isn't the only way you can use Groups but it's the one we imagine would serve you better.

Other ways you can use Groups are:

* Onboarding
* Waitlist
* Paying vs Non-Paid Customers
* Language
* Location
* Re-engage

Here are the step-by-step instructions for setting up groups in Mailer Lite:

1. Navigate to the **Subscribers** page.
2. Click on the **Groups** tab.
3. Click **Create Group**
4. Enter the name of your new group.
5. Click **Create**
