Identifying Market Central
What demographic does your products/services appeal to most? You probably already know the type of audience you have in mind. But if you haven't focused in on the size or scope of the audience you're services attract, here are a few simple ways to determine what your audience looks like:
- Check your social media reach. Who is clicking on your links most? Who has commented or even promoted your company services or your competition's?
- Recognize who isn't in your target's range. If you do this, you can save time and money knowing how to affix your attention on the people most likely to appreciate what you offer.
- Ask questions to the customers you already have.
Being Nosy with Good Intentions
Inquiries through the latest technology can actually point you to the right target. If your customers respond through email, your company may appeal to an older demographic. If you find text deals/promos successful you might have middle-aged/younger clients. For those who strictly use social media avenues that are short and to the point, the audience may be young adults. what specific media app do they use the most? Answering that specific questions can further narrow down and solidify where the heart of your audience lies. Here are a few questions to ask consumers in whatever avenue you use!
- What do they like most?
- What age group do they fit in?
- What are their likes/dislikes?
- What are they searching for?
A simple questionnaire (with coupons/discounts incentives if needed) is a great way to help you gain insight on your target audience! (It also can help you brainstorm future new services and products to offer!)
