First, it is essential to discuss the most significant mistake brands often make; not precisely defining a target audience. While having a broad audience may seem like it will open new avenues for your brand, it could instead be detrimental.
By not specifically appealing to anyone, you are appealing to no one.
By not catering specifically to your audience, you could be alienating them instead.
Now, let us discuss the four main things that need to be developed when choosing your target audience.
1. Who is your target audience?
You need to understand who your audience is demographically—this means the features that would show up on a statistical breakdown of a person. You should understand your target audience in several ways, including but not limited to their age, gender, background, education, location, family, and life structure. You should understand your audience in such a way that you can narrow it down to one specific person.
2. What are they like beneath the surface?
Once you have determined who your audience is demographically, you need to determine who they are psychologically. This means understanding their wants, needs, values, and beliefs. To gain their attention, you need to understand them deeply so that you can target them specifically.
3. How and why do they use social media?
The platforms your audience uses will be how you connect with them, so you need to ensure you are putting your brand where your audience will see it. By understanding their media use, you will better understand how to place your brand in places they will see and engage within.
4. What content will they respond best to, and can you provide it for them?
Once you have realized which platforms your audience uses, you need to create content that they will enjoy. It is not enough to post on platforms; you need to curate content that will encourage your audience to find your brand and engage with you and your business.
Without properly defining your audience, your brand is missing a pillar of its success. Without your audience, your branding will not grow a successful business. For this reason, you need to have detailed answers to these pivotal questions to ensure that your personal brand has a target audience that you understand.
