SO, WHERE SHOULD YOU START?
Defining your target market is one of the first elements of any marketing strategy and identifies the primary characteristics of the customer, including their gender, likes, interests, occupation, disposable income, spending habits, loyalty to brands, and desired lifestyle. The more clearly you understand your customers the more effectively you can market your products and services and tailor the content that you create.Customer profiles are commonly referred to as ‘buyer personas’ – a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer. The goal is to understand how to relate with customers, as opposed to generalising the audience based on their demographics.Click here to watch SMC's Facebook Live episode to learn more about creating your Buyer Personas - this is a great exercise to help you gain clarity on who your customers are.
