Narrow your goal into numerous, specific objectives. They should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely.
STEP 3: SET THE BUDGET
Determine which objective will result in the best ROI, and lead with that. Above all, stick to your budget.
STEP 4: DEFINE THE AUDIENCE
Who are you targeting? Maximize your budget to reach those who will actually turn into customers.
STEP 5: PLAN THE TACTICS
Your tactics should be based on the previous steps. They should take into account your goal, budget and audience.
STEP 6: ALIGN YOUR MESSAGING AND DESIGN
Express your message clearly and concisely using design that is both pleasing and brand-appropriate.
