It’s a hyper competitive world out there and people are inundated with marketing everywhere they look. Why should they care about what you’ve got to say?
Over 50% of people believe that companies share too much irrelevant content, meaning that companies aren’t targeting their ideal audience.
Today we’ll discuss the importance of identifying your target audience to ensure that you’re promoting your brand to people who will emotionally connect with it.
Remember: If you try to appeal to everyone, you’ll appeal to no one. Your message should be tailored to your audience!
Who are you looking to attract with your product or service? Marketing is about human to human relationships.
Your target audience is the group of people that are your potential customers. The people who connect with your brand. The people whose needs you can help solve. A target audience is how you make sure your words are reaching the right customers.
People buy people, we hope you’re buying us right now ?
Defining your target audience and creating user profiles is the only effective way for a brand to survive in the current marketplace.
It’s not about how big and powerful you are but how efficiently and effectively you can solve your customers’ problems.
Having a defined target audience:
Define your customer personas in as much detail as you can:
