Communications target is the
same as your ELD goal and
should therefore also be
tracked based on your
chosen segmented markets.
Have raising goals for each
sub-product.
Campaign should be customized
towards your specific target
audience.
Therefore understand their wants,
needs, interests and what
context they’re living in during the
time period when you wish to run
the campaign.

18. Answers to the questions...
• Which channels’ do our Targets
normally visit?
• How often do they go to these
places?
• What do they do there?
Answers to these types of questions
will help you clarify..
(1) Which Channel/ Places should you
focus on for your promotions? and,
(2) When is the best timing for you to
release your materials?
You will have a Main Message/ Tag-line that
captures and communicates the Unique Value
Proposition of your Programme to your Target
Audience. You will also have to further customize
how you package this according to each channel
you plan to utilize.
(1) Main Message: To come up with the general
theme and tagline for your campaign, you should
base this on what will be most attractive and
engaging to your Target Audience.
(2) Customized Messages for Channels: Your
general message should then be customized
according to each channel you will be using it in.
Especially for online social media, this will help
“optimize” engagement and drive stronger
influence.
