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
