Typically Targets are used as the recipients of a Marketing Campaign, your organisation knows very little about these individuals and they may be re-used for new Campaigns or deleted without any impact to the business. Your organisation will spend little resources on Targets and will usually be contacted en masse. Targets can be acquired from purchased email lists or gathered from trade shows your organisation has been present. The Targets module in SuiteCRM is used to store and manage information about these individuals.
