Three Marketing Questions
You Should be Asking and
Answering All the Time
Who are we trying to reach? (Who cares?)
What’s our message to them? What do we want them to do and why should they?(So what?)
What’s the best way to deliver that message to those people?

Other ways to target communications
• Geography(e.g., in a certain district)
• Behaviors(e.g., only votes in Presidential years)
• Interests(e.g., searching on specific topics. LEW will help with this.)
Message? Make everything they see from you relevant to them!
