Starting with the target audience, which is simply that group of people\u2014your audience\u2014that you should direct your content to in order to achieve the goals of your digital marketing strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The target audience is made up of a variety of people who share similar characteristics and match your search for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genwords.com\/blog\/que-es-un-embudo-de-ventas-como-influye-estrategia-inbound\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leads<\/a>, and they are the ones who will go through your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genwords.com\/blog\/buyer-journey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buyer journey<\/a> until they become customers. So if you apply your strategies well, they will become loyal to your brand.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there are some basic questions you should ask yourself before starting to work on your audience:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What are my goals?<\/li>\n<li>What is the goal of my campaign?<\/li>\n<li>How do I define my target audience?<\/li>\n<li>What content should I create to attract my target audience?<\/li>\n<li>Which digital platforms should I be on to get better results?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These are some of the questions we&#8217;ll be answering throughout this article, and we&#8217;ll also give you recommendations so you can easily define the best audience for your business.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that without this, it would be like saying a message in a place full of people. Maybe some will listen to you, but you don&#8217;t know if they&#8217;re interested in what you have to say. Focus your efforts on the right audience and you&#8217;ll see how well your strategies work.<\/p>\n\n<h2>\u00b7 Basic process for defining your target audience:<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Segmentation.<\/h3>\n<p>To carry out a segmentation, or a separation in the market, you need to take into account factors such as where your product is\u2014is it international, national, or regional?\u2014you should also consider whether it&#8217;s for men, women, children, or something more universal.<\/p>\n<p>Next is, what age group is my product aimed at? Also, how much do the people you want to reach earn? Are they middle class, upper class? Considering the cost of your product or service is essential.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, knowing what the people you&#8217;d like to reach do for a living and where they live can make it easier not only to create your content, but also to create specific campaigns for athletes, for example.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Diversity.<\/h3>\n<p>Although we talk about a &#8220;target audience&#8221; in the singular, this encompasses a group of people that can be diverse and share common characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>If your product is large-scale, for example international, for the whole family and different social classes. You need to be more inclusive when designing your marketing strategies, because everyone should feel included in order to connect with your business.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Platforms and media.<\/h3>\n<p>With that in mind, it&#8217;s time to choose which channels you&#8217;ll use to get your message to your target audience. It&#8217;s good to keep both the offline and online worlds in mind, as this gives you more chances of being seen and reinforcing your message.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, if you&#8217;re going to use social media, knowing each platform&#8217;s statistics will be a great help. With them you can find out gender, age, and where users are located. You just need to match each platform&#8217;s information with your goal, and that way you&#8217;ll know where most of your audience is.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Schedules.<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on who your product or service is aimed at, you can also get an idea of what each group&#8217;s routine is like. If they&#8217;re working adults, they probably keep office hours and have their leisure time in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>This information is very useful for knowing what time of day they&#8217;re available to learn more about you.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Know your competition.<\/h3>\n<p>Studying your competition closely will give you a small advantage: you&#8217;ll know where they have a presence, what times they&#8217;re most active, and how users react to their messages. This will give you a small idea of what works best for a product or service like yours.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important that you use this information only at a strategic level\u2014no copying ideas from others. Highlighting your value and your differentiating factor is key to your business&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have all this data clear, you already have the foundation to define your target audience effectively. Another tool that can help you build a well-focused strategy is creating your buyer personas.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12469 size-full\" title=\"What is a buyer persona?\" src=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Crear-campos-personalizados.png\" alt=\"What is a buyer persona?\" width=\"630\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Crear-campos-personalizados.png 630w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Crear-campos-personalizados-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Crear-campos-personalizados-110x59.png 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>\u00b7 What is a buyer persona?<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s the representation of what your <strong>ideal buyer<\/strong> would be. You can create it using the data obtained in your market research and use it as a kind of template.<\/p>\n<p>This is where you&#8217;ll match your product or service&#8217;s characteristics with all the information you have about your audience, and build a prototype of what would be the perfect customer for you.<\/p>\n<p>An example of what a buyer persona is would be:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Juan<\/strong> is 30 years old, single, and lives in downtown Buenos Aires. He works office hours and earns a salary of around 70,000 ARS. He likes playing sports and staying active on social media.<\/p>\n<p>This would mean that your <strong>ideal buyer<\/strong> is young, male, single, active, takes care of himself, lives within Buenos Aires, has a steady job, and earns above minimum wage.<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s apply this profile to what would be a content strategy:<\/p>\n<h3>Things you should NOT do<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Refer to the female gender in most of your messages.<\/li>\n<li>Use childish elements.<\/li>\n<li>Refer to life as a couple or with a family.<\/li>\n<li>Emphasize that you&#8217;re outside Buenos Aires.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Types of messages that would catch &#8220;Juan&#8217;s&#8221; attention<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Youthful, up-to-date vocabulary.<\/li>\n<li>Social media presence.<\/li>\n<li>Topics related to sports or physical activity.<\/li>\n<li>Short, concise messages.<\/li>\n<li>Situations involving people alone or with friends.<\/li>\n<li>Emphasize that it&#8217;s a product or service you can find in central Buenos Aires.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This way we can see that all the characteristics of your message align with your buyer persona&#8217;s reality, capturing their attention because they&#8217;ll feel identified with your campaign\u2014they&#8217;ll feel like you&#8217;re talking to them (and in a way, you are).<\/p>\n<p>Now, you just need to carry out this process efficiently. The first step is to establish your product&#8217;s characteristics, benefits, value, and goal. Once you have this information ready, it&#8217;s time to research your audience.<\/p>\n<p>Once you know all the relevant aspects that can influence how they see your content and your business, it&#8217;s time to create your strategies.<\/p>\n<p>Once your content marketing, your sales strategy, and your team are aligned on meeting the goals, it&#8217;s time to launch your campaign and start monitoring the results, so you can make the necessary adjustments as quickly as possible. Why do we mention this?<\/p>\n<p>Many campaigns are made with a long-term mindset, and nowadays that&#8217;s not as effective\u2014the market and the digital world change almost daily. What worked for you at the beginning of the year might already have stopped getting results by March, or its effectiveness may have dropped significantly. This is why daily monitoring is so important.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13888 size-full\" title=\"General recommendations\" src=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/indice-de-conversion.png\" alt=\"General recommendations\" width=\"630\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/indice-de-conversion.png 630w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/indice-de-conversion-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/indice-de-conversion-110x59.png 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t wait until your campaign is over to evaluate what worked, what you need to change, and what you should discard completely. If after two weeks of launching your campaign you see things you can adjust, do it! Get ahead of the game by always keeping an eye on your results.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, you also need to have clear expectations and know that you won&#8217;t be able to win over everyone who is part of your target audience. Each person, no matter how many similar characteristics they share with others, lives a different reality.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, you should keep in mind that your competition has probably already reached some of the people who are part of your audience, and there you&#8217;ll face a different process.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn&#8217;t mean that if you&#8217;re new to the market you won&#8217;t be able to outdo others, but it&#8217;s a harder process because you have to earn your audience&#8217;s trust. Always offer a high-quality product or service, with timely responses and exceptional customer service\u2014throughout the entire purchase process, these factors are decisive.<\/p>\n<p>To wrap up, here are some general recommendations for intelligently defining your target audience.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00b7 General recommendations<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Research as much as you can before creating your campaign; investing more time in the preliminary process will save you money in the future.<\/li>\n<li>Be completely honest when defining your product&#8217;s characteristics and benefits. Getting carried away by the excitement of it being yours can work against you.<\/li>\n<li>Match as many characteristics as possible; the more elements your product has in common with your audience, the better results you&#8217;ll get.<\/li>\n<li>Design messages for the consumer; remember that campaigns don&#8217;t have to appeal to you, but to the audience they&#8217;re aimed at.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Finally, we invite you to dare to think outside the box and make the best decisions for your business, such as sharing this article with your entire marketing team.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve defined your target audience, it&#8217;s important to fine-tune the concept even further: discover what the <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/ideal-customer\/\">ideal customer<\/a> is and how it differs from the buyer persona, and also work on your <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/en\/glossary\/lead-generation\/\">lead generation<\/a> strategy to turn that audience into real customers.<\/p>\n<p>This work goes hand in hand with your <a href=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/es\/blog\/2018\/05\/31\/mercado-objetivo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">target market<\/a>\u2014two concepts that are best kept well aligned.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genwords.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19417 size-full\" title=\"Emanuel Olivier\" src=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/emanuel-olivier.png\" alt=\"Emanuel Olivier\" width=\"630\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/emanuel-olivier.png 630w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/emanuel-olivier-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/mailrelay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/emanuel-olivier-110x44.png 110w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To start this article, let&#8217;s go over some basic terms we&#8217;ll need to have clear.
