Make Your marketing goals SMART
At Office Pro we suggest SMART marketing goals. Smart stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. Smart goals are a framework for creating achievable marketing goals.
- Specific: Your goal must focus on one clearly defined metric.
- Measurable: You must have a way to measure the content you publish against that metric.
- Attainable: Make sure you goal is going to be achievable. Keep in mind the resources and time your business has.
- Relevant: Goals that are relevant relate to your company’s overall business goals and account for current trends in your industry.
- Time-bound: Your goal should have an end date, so you can conduct your evaluation.
Here is an example of a blog traffic goal:
- Specific: We want to boost our blog’s traffic by increasing our weekly publishing frequency from 5 to 8 times a week. Our blogger will increase their workload from writing 5 posts a week to 8 posts a week.
- Measurable: An 8% increase is our goal.
- Attainable: Our blog traffic increased by 5% last month when we increased our weekly publishing frequency from 3 to 5 times a week.
- Relevant: By increasing blog traffic, we will boost brand awareness and generate more leads, giving sales more opportunities to increase.
- Time-Bound: One month.
SMART Goal: In one month, our blog will see an 8% rise in traffic by increasing our weekly publishing frequency from 5 posts per week to 8 post per week.
