It All Matters • “Rarely is one media channel strong enough to form a full impression on the consumer and move them to action.” • If they like you on Facebook but then have a negative customer service experience, which one will they remember?

Measurement Questions • How do we know how manypeople we’re reaching? • What types of messages aregrabbing people’s attention? • Which are falling on deaf ears? • How do we assess the effectiveness of our marketingcampaigns?
SMART Goals • Bad: “I want to lose weight.” • Good : “I want to lose 20 lbs by April 15th. I will perform a half hour of cardio and half hour of strength training per day, 5 times a week and I will only eat starchy carbohydrates 3 times a week.”
SMART Goals • Bad: “I want to write a book.” • Good: “I want to write a work book on How to add 10 years to your life that is at least 150 pages in length and get it completed by June 30th. I will write at least 4 pages every weekday until I complete the book.”
Measuring Results • Goal – I want to increase my blog traffic. • SMART: I will publish a blog post twice per week, promote it through my email newsletter and Facebook, in order to reach 3,000 readers in the next 90 days. • Goal – I want to raise awareness of my organization. • SMART: I will use 10 of the Facebook Best Practices to increase our Facebook fan base by 10% in 60 days. • Goal – I want to get more press coverage. • SMART: I will pitch five stories per month to local newspaper editors and call five reporters per month to update them on our organization to increase our coverage in the press by 25%.
