Finding the right audience for a specific offer can be challenging. If an offer is too general or doesn’t speak to the right “buying” audience, then it is doomed to fail.
The key to any effective marketing campaign is building a target audience and crafting an offer or message to that audience.
And step one to building a target audience, is identifying the ideal customer. Who is the ideal customer? What are their demographics? What are their interests? What are their needs and pain points? The more you know about the ideal customer, the better you can target your audience.
If you don’t know about your ideal customer, there are a number of ways to gather data. You can use surveys, website analytics, social media data, and even customer feedback. The more data you have, the better you can segment your target audience and create targeted marketing messages.
Once the ideal customer has been identified and data gathered on the subject, then a marketing profile can be crafted.
Basically, this is a list of the common characteristics your ideal customers share. With this list, you can then leverage data sources to build custom data lists that match the ideal customer you are targeting. Ideally, you will leverage multiple data sources and data enrichment to learn even more about your audience.
Direct marketing campaigns' success starts with a good target audience.
