Question
Every digital marketing, advertising or copywriting campaign starts from knowing your prospective customer. However, as a new company, how can you know the habits, likes and dislikes of prospective customers in an affordable way (for a small online business)?
Answer
You won’t be able to connect effectively with your potential customers if you don’t have a customer in mind. Survey current customers, as well as members of your target market, to find out how you can better present your product or service, or what aspects might be missing from what you’re currently offering.Cast a wide net to capture those you think might be interested in your product or service, and use their data to shape your brand in a way that better resonates with your target market. Once you know who your audience is, where they hang out online and what they respond best to, then you can begin to market.
