Writing Style
According to Accenture, 91% of consumers say they are more likely to shop with brands that provide offers and recommendations that are relevant to them.
Personalization is all about understanding the needs and wants of the target audience. Still, many companies begin talking by presenting their offers and services, not what the customers need!
So, what’s a customer or buyer persona? how to create personas? and how can they help with the marketing?
A customer persona is a depiction or mapping of the target audience based on research. Simply put, these personas describe who your ideal customers are, what their days are like, the challenges they face, how they make decisions, what their needs and requirements are, and so on. The more detailed the customer persona, the better. A buyer persona is the answer to the following questions:
- Personal Information about the audience: What is their age, gender, nationality, culture, values, location
- Professional Information: What’s their industry, company size, job title, role in decision making, sales cycle
- What are their goals and challenges: needs, goals, requirements, KPIs
Call to Action
It is time to drive them along the path to conversion! It is a simple task for them to click a subscribe button or even a purchase button.
These buttons are what we call “calls to action”. A good call to action is a simple word that can be seen by your customer below your email, like “Subscribe Now!”, “Learn More”, “Get Involved”, etc. But remember, try to focus on creating one button so that your client doesn’t get distracted.
