get in front of THE RIGHT people
Your business likely has a few different target audiences - and that’s okay! With multiple audiences, you want to ensure that you have your bases covered when it comes to creating a custom approach to your marketing promotions.
A great way to ensure that you are catering to your audiences through the correct lens is by creating Buyer Personas. This exercise will allow you to answer questions such as:
- How old are my customers?
- What are their goals and needs?
- What social media channels do my customers use?
- What is their household income?
- Why do they need my product or service?
Buyer Personas can also help you choose the perfect medium for your promotions.
