Defining your target audience is one of the business’s most important tasks. It is the foundation of every element of your strategy – from how you develop and name products or services, the type of messaging you use to reach customers, to the marketing channels you use to promote them.
The more you understand your target market, the better you’ll be able to reach them with relevant offerings, content, and messaging. As your depth of audience insight grows, you’ll begin to see higher conversion rates and better ROI.
Defining Target Audiences with Market Research
The more clearly you define your target audience, the better you can understand how and where to reach your best prospects. You can start with broad categories like age and gender, but the more detailed you can get, the better conversion rates you’ll see.
No matter how deeply you identify with your audience, your true target market should be based on market research, not an instinct. Armed with solutions like continuous research and agile insights technology, you need to be willing to learn as you go, adapt on the fly, and pursue paths of outreach that may even go against your initial “gut feelings.”
