Targeting involves choosing which segments to focus on based on their potential profitability and fit with your business. Positioning involves designing your offering to meet the needs of your target customers and differentiate it from competitors. Additionally, setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound marketing objectives can help guide your strategy.

A company can ensure that its marketing objectives are time-bound by setting clear deadlines for each objective. This involves defining the start and end dates for each marketing activity, and ensuring that these dates are realistic and achievable. Regular monitoring and evaluation of progress towards these objectives is also crucial. This can be done through regular meetings, reports, and use of project management tools.

Examples of marketing objectives that are not specific, measurable, achievable, relevant or time-bound could include vague goals such as 'increase brand awareness', 'improve customer satisfaction', or 'enhance market presence'. These objectives lack specificity, measurability, achievability, relevance, and time-bound elements, making them ineffective for strategic planning.
