How do you describe your marketing goals and objectives? Think in terms of long- and short-term and put them in priority order.
The second portion of a marketing audit is where you describe your marketing goals and objectives. Divide your goals and objectives in two categories: long-term (things that might be accomplished in 24 months or more) and short-term (things that might be accomplished in 12 months or less). You should also put them in an order of priority with 6 to 8 goals in your long-term section and 3 to 4 goals for your short-term.
By writing these down they can be continually evaluated, measured, and enhanced so they can be successfully achieved. Goals and objectives should be precise about what is to be achieved. You should also quantify when the results are to be accomplished so it is measureable. All goals and objectives should be reasonable. Make sure that you have the resources to make them happen. Ask yourself if you have the men, money, machines, materials or minutes to achieve these results? Don’t attempt to do too much.
Here are some examples of quantitative goals and objectives to consider for your marketing audit:
