    Firing a Shotgun Definition

    Definition: This is to try to hit a target by firing a lot of shots in a general direction. In sales and marketing, it can refer to a scattergun approach to reaching potential customers, rather than targeting specific demographics or individuals.

    Use It In a Sentence: We’re just firing a shotgun with our current advertising campaign, we need to be more specific in targeting potential customers.
