Why you need to know your buyer personas

A buyer persona is a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer, based on market research and real data about your existing customers. Buyer personas help you determine where to focus your marketing efforts and improve the content that you create for each target audience segment.

A buyer persona is a fictional representation of your ideal customer based on market research and real data about your existing customers. A buyer persona can be used to determine what kind of content to create, or it can help you decide who should receive a particular piece of content. For example, if you have a blog post titled “How To Use Social Media Marketing to Grow Your Business”, you might want to send it only to people who are interested in social media marketing because they will be more likely to read it, share it with others, and purchase something as a result.

A buyer persona helps you determine where to focus your marketing efforts

A buyer persona is a detailed description of your ideal customer, including their demographics, preferences and behaviors. This helps you identify where to focus your marketing efforts, as well as what kind of content to create.

For example, one of our buyer personas is someone who:

Has been part of the industry for over 15 years;
Works in the IT department;
Has no children under the age of 18;
Lives in Utah County and owns their own home; 5) Owns two dogs (a German shepherd named Maximus and a dachshund named Lucy); 6) Is responsible for managing at least three social media accounts on behalf of his employer’s company (including Facebook Messenger); 7) Is interested in purchasing an entry-level hybrid SUV or crossover vehicle soon because he wants something that’s more fuel efficient than his current car (a Toyota Camry).

When done properly, your buyer persona(s) will become an integral part of your company’s content creation

When done properly, your buyer persona(s) will become an integral part of your company’s content creation process. The benefits of building and using buyer personas include:

Your content will be more relevant to the needs and goals of your target audience, making it more likely to be shared or read.
You can create engaging content that is tailored specifically to meet the needs and interests of a specific persona or group of personas.

You can create as many buyer personas as you need to accurately represent the different segments of customers or buyers within your target market.

You can create as many buyer personas as you need to accurately represent the different segments of customers or buyers within your target market. Each persona represents a different type of customer that has unique needs and feelings about your company, product, or service.

By creating multiple buyer personas, you’re able to identify the most important characteristics and needs for each segment, which allows you to more effectively communicate with them on their terms.

The number of personas should be based on how much time is available for research and analysis. Generally speaking, one main persona will suffice if there isn’t enough time for data analysis; however additional personas are recommended if more time is available for research and analysis efforts (which is always preferable).

Creating a buyer persona involves gathering lots of data about your target audience and answering questions about their goals, challenges, typical behaviors, demographics and more.

You can gather data about your target audience by asking questions like: What are their goals? Challenges? Typical behaviors? Demographics?
Once you’ve gathered all the data, you’ll want to answer some important questions. Questions such as: Who are they? What do they want from me/my product/service? How much money do they make in a year (or month)? What kind of car do they drive and where do they live (house or apartment)? This will help define their persona for us.

Gather quantitative demographic data like age, location, occupation, income level, marital status and other demographic information that you will use to create specific personas.

You can gather quantitative demographic data like age, location, occupation, income level, marital status and other demographic information that you will use to create specific personas.

Other demographics include gender, race, religion or ethnicity. There are many ways to gather this type of data: online surveys through a third-party service such as Google Forms; in-person interviews; or even just by observing your customers at the grocery store or at an event. The key is to do whatever it takes so you have a full picture of who your buyer persona is.

Once you have this information about all of your buyers—the good news is that there’s probably only one main thing they have in common: They’re ready for whatever kind of product or service you offer!

Next, conduct the task analysis. This means identifying the tasks that must be completed by the customers in order to complete the goal they have set out for themselves.

For example, if your product or service is helping people get fit and healthy, then one person’s goal might be to lose weight. The tasks involved with achieving this could include:

going to the gym at least three times a week
eating healthier food (e.g., vegetables)
replacing soda drinks with water

After you have completed the satisfaction analysis, you will be able to conduct an emotional analysis and identify what emotions are associated with completing each task.

Once you have completed your satisfaction analysis, you will be able to conduct an emotional analysis and identify what emotions are associated with completing each task. You can then use this information to create an emotional marketing strategy.

In order to create a relevant customer experience for your consumers, it is necessary for companies to understand their buyer personas. By doing so, brands will be able to better meet the needs of their target audience by providing them with more accurate messaging that resonates with them on a deeper level.

Conclusion

This is the final step of creating a buyer persona. In this section, you will identify the emotions that people feel when they complete tasks associated with their goals, and create an emotional map based on those emotions.
