Do You Already Work with the SMART Method?

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.
