What is the SMART Method?
The SMART method is a proven concept for defining clear and measurable goals – also in marketing.
SMART stands for:
Specific – The goal must be clearly defined.
Measurable – There must be criteria to evaluate success.
Achievable – The goal should be motivating and feasible.
Realistic – It must be attainable under the given conditions.
Time-bound – There should be a clear deadline.
This approach turns vague wishes into concrete, verifiable goals.
