As the B2B landscape continues to pressure marketers to tighten their budgets, they must measure the impact of their every move to ensure they are making the most of each dollar. About 89% of marketing leaders believe personalization is important for success in their business over the next three years. Many have seen the benefits of this strategy firsthand. However, building relationships throughout the buyer’s journey and then scaling them introduces fresh operational complexities.
While 89% of businesses are investing in personalization this year, 73% of customers still expect better personalization, and 40% of consumers wish brands knew more about their style preferences.
But the holy grail is still out there, and you can reach it. It is simply a more complex funnel that requires marketers to think about the person they are selling to rather than the marketing itself. To help businesses with effective lead nurturing, here are seven steps focusing on sustainable growth. From creating tailored content and optimizing email campaigns to leveraging marketing automation, this whitepaper covers everything you need to know.
Decode, Segment, Succeed:
Understanding Your Target Audience
But before you can nurture your audience or your business, you need to lay the groundwork. And it is not talking about increasing budgets or exploring different avenues of promotion. It all starts with a deep understanding of your target audience. However, many brands struggle in that department. More than 61% of customers feel disconnected and believe they are seen as just numbers instead of individuals.
Furthermore, most brands have multiple target audiences. That is why it is important to start segmenting your audience based on demographics, behavior, and preferences. Segmentation will enable you to tailor your messaging to a specific subgroup of the targeted demographic. This will also make your content resonate with each demographic pool by addressing their unique needs and pain points. Knowing who your target audience is and how they feel will be fundamental to crafting your effective marketing strategy. Here’s a concise step-by-step guide to gaining valuable insights:
Do Your Due Diligence
To connect with your audience, perform surveys and interviews, and observe what they are saying and sharing on social media. You should also gather demographic and psychographic data to capture their preferences and motivations in real time.
Define Your Target Segment
Focus on specific groups within your audience that align with your business objectives. Tailor your messaging and allocate resources efficiently based on these segments.
Understand Their Needs
Identify your audience's needs and challenges. Craft messages that directly address these pain points to resonate with them more authentically.
Keep an Eye on Your Competitors
Analyze what your competitors are doing to determine what strategies resonate with your shared audience. Then, make your approach stand out in terms of how you meet the needs of your clientele.
Know Your Consumer
Leverage customer data to deepen your understanding of preferences and interests. Use this insight to inform your marketing messages and content.
Create Target Personas
Develop target personas that embody your typical audience members. This is a simple and effective method of customizing your strategy by imagining the people you're designing your product for.
