4. Target/Intended Audience
Who do you expect to attend this event? You should consider the demographics for the majority of the attendees,
including such factors as age, gender, marital status, race/ethnicity, and income levels. You should also consider the
psychographics for this group, including factors like the publications they are likely to read, the genre of music they prefer, how
and where they shop, where they dine, and how they would spend an extra $100 if given the opportunity.

5. Date/Time
When will this event take place? There are several factors you might consider here. What time of day will this event take place?
What time of year? ( his is particularly important if it is an outdoor event ) Does the type of event it is affect your choice of date
and time (for example, maybe it is a fashion show for summer wear)? Should this event take place on a weekend or a weekday?
Why? How is your choice of date and time affected by the demographics and psychographics of your target audience?
