4. Set an maximum audience size by selecting one of the pre-populated options, or move the slider to create a custom audience. Segment recommends audiences that contain less than the top 20% of your audience because as the size of your audience increases, the propensity to purchase typically decreases. See [Best practices](#best-practices) for more information.

- When mapping events to the model column during the set up process for your [Recommendation catalog](#step-1-set-up-your-recommendation-catalog), select the event property that matches the model column. For example, if you are mapping to model column ‘Brand’, select the property that refers to ‘Brand’ for each of the selected interaction events.

- Because a number of factors (like system load, backfills, or user bases) determine the complexity of an Audience, some compute times take longer than others. As a result, **Segment recommends waiting at least 24 hours for an Audience to finish computing** before you resume working with the Audience.

- As the size of your audience increases, the propensity to purchase typically decreases. For example, an audience of 100k people that represents the top 5% of your customers might be more likely to purchase your product, but you might see a greater number of total sales if you expanded the audience to a million people that represent the top 50% of your customer base.
