Answer to Question 1

Answer: Once you have determined the specific purpose of a business message, you can decide whether that purpose merits the time and effort required for you to prepare and send the message. In order to test the purpose of a message, one should ask (1) Will anything change as a result of this message? (2) Is my purpose realistic? (3) Is the timing right? (4) Is the purpose acceptable to my organization?

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Developing an audience profile involves identifying your primary audience and determining its size, geographic distribution, and composition. It also requires gauging your audience's level of understanding, considering their expectations and preferences, and forecasting their probable reaction to your message.
