Identifying a Laser-Focused Target Audience


We’ve talked about the importance of content writing and how you can generate material that resonates with your readers. Now, it’s time to focus on one of the most important aspects of developing a solid marketing campaign – reaching your target audience.
There are a few things that you should keep in mind when coming up with a marketing strategy. For starters, there is no one-size-fits-all method to reach your audience. People are complex. They have different needs, expectations, opinions, and views of the world. For that reason, it’s best to come up with different buyer personas that appeal to your most common demographics. You wouldn’t market your SaaS program to a 75-year-old grandmother the same way you would to a millennial, after all.

Building Your Customer Base

If you’re a small or medium-sized business looking to get big, you’ll have a challenging road ahead if you you don’t know how to capture your target demographics. Before you can successfully do this, you need to look at your products and determine who stands to benefit the most from them. This means that you need to look at a number of demographics and see who’s more receptive to your product and products similar to yours.
Here are some things to consider:

  • What services does your target market need? Think about how you’re going to meet those needs and target all their pain points.
  • Who are your competitors reaching out to? Observe their social media marketing campaigns and see what you can do better.
  • What are current trends in your industry and who’s more receptive to them? Boomers, Gen-Xers, or Millennials?

Finally, you need to come up with something that makes you stand out from the rest. We operate in a world where big businesses have every nook and cranny covered. Just think how Walmart and Amazon sell literally everything you need. In order compete, you need to come up with a niche that makes you stand out, like an incredibly personalized marketing campaign or products with more customization. Whatever the case, the sooner you reach your target audience, the quicker you’re able to build your customer base.
