  • Knowing your target audience
  • Understanding your competition
  • Your medium options
  • Your messaging options
  • The cost
  • The projected return

Edwards writes, “These seven pieces of information aren’t comprehensive; in fact, even with these basics, you should still do some extra research to fact-check yourself, learn best practices and consider alternative approaches, but these are the fundamentals that no marketing strategy should be without”.
