1. Establish the objectives

Every company has its business objectives, whether it is to improve profitability, increase sales or expand into other markets.
The digital performance objectives are derived from these objectives.

Performance objectives must be aligned with our business objectives and, at the same time, be measurable, achievable, specific, relevant and time-bound.
(SMART)

.
These objectives can be established as
performance indicators

(KPIs), quantifiable metrics specific to a given campaign.

2. Define the buyer persona.

Defining the buyer persona is very important to understand who we want to impact.
Segmentation is a key step
It allows us to target a specific message and identify the ideal channels for each interest group.

3. Identify the competition

In order for marketing efforts to be efficient, we need to
identify who our competitors are, what they do
what they do and how they communicate. An exhaustive analysis of the competition will allow us to know how to make the most of online marketing tools to outperform the competition (for example, to see in which channels they are strong and in which they are weak).

4. Allocate a budget

Our budget gives us the guideline to know
how much we need to invest to achieve our objectives
and thus define the channels, campaigns and strategies to be used. Setting an accurate budget will depend on many factors: revenue, brand positioning, historical results, objectives, market, expected profitability, etc. While it is important to start with a solid budget allocation, we must be flexible and learn from how the active campaign behaves to optimize our resources.

5. Select channels

In this step it is necessary to choose the channels to carry out the strategy. The choice of channels must take into account factors such as objectives, budget and audiences. It is crucial to have defined our target audience to correctly select the channels. For example, if we are a B2B company, LinkedIn is a viable option. If our target audience is teenagers, TikTok is a good alternative. Here we must focus on how
deliver value

to our audience through the channels they like the most.

Synergies between channels can be beneficial.
We will often have channels that can work together using common strategies that leverage both media. An example could be a pay-per-click (PPC) campaign that seeks to generate leads and is complemented by an email marketing flow to transform these leads into sales.

6. Develop strategies and content for each channel.

Once the channels have been chosen, we must think about the best strategy according to our objective. For example, if we choose SEM, we must put together a structure of search terms for our target audience to find us on the Internet, and thus deliver a specific message to each user. In turn, we must focus on how
offer relevant content to our audience through the channels they like most.
. Each channel offers different tools that suit different objectives; for example, Google Ads offers campaigns optimized to get app downloads, and Facebook has re-engagement campaigns for products. To sum up,
the strategy we choose will depend on what we have decided so far, such as objectives, budget and audience.

Every effective performance strategy includes a
campaign implementation schedule
