Relevant
Goals
Make them SMART
Specific: Set goals that are clear, detailed, and focus on what you
want to achieve.
Measurable: Setting goals you can track allows you to see the
progress you are making.
Achievable: Set attainable goals that are challenging yet realistic so
you can accomplish them.
Relevant: Set goals that are directly related to the ultimate goal or
lifestyle you want to achieve in the long run.
Time-bound: Setting goals with a deadline helps you stay focused
and motivated.

Goals
BHAG Example
May 25, 1961
President John F. Kennedy announced the ambitious goal of
sending an American safely to the moon before the end of the
decade.
That goal was achieved on July 20, 1969.
In 1961, no one knew exactly how to make that happen, but the
goal inspired many to work toward a desirable outcome. The
brain power of many was channeled toward finding a solution.

National Days
Beekman 1802's slogan is "There Is
Beauty in Kindness".
Therefore, it's a natural fit to build a
campaign for World Kindness Day. In
2021, they partnered with Ulta Beauty
to promote #timetobekind.
Examples
Anneversary
Celebrate your company's anniversary
with your email & SMS subscribers.
Plus, it's a great way to showcase your
longevity in business.
Examples
New
Let your email and SMS
subscribers know about new
items for sale.
Examples
Different in the Marketplace
Touting how your product is
better than the competition
leads to more awareness and
interest for your product.
Examples
Many Different Options
Consider opening up a separate
"shop" if you have many items to
promote, especially if they are
seasonal.
Examples
Limited Quanity
Selling limited quanity or edition
items cuts through the noise and
leads to an quicker purchase cycle.
Examples
Back in Stock
Conversely, if an item sold out
quickly previously, letting customers
know it's back in stock leads to a
quicker sales cycle.
Examples
Seasonality
Bed & Bath sales typically peak in
January, when subscribers are
spending more time at home.
