Audience
Posted on Tuesday, June 3, 2014 | Share on:
Okay, maybe stalking is not the best choice of words. But, when it comes to marketing you
need to know who your target is, what they want and need, and where they hang out. After
all, you don’t want to send your message to anyone and everyone. You need to seek out an
audience that is:
Targeted
Engaged
Wants what you offer
Online advertising and social media can provide massive amounts of exposure at an
unbeatable price, but only if you know who your target is.
Here are some ways you can Stalk *cough*, we mean learn about your target audience…
Check Those Analytics
This is where an advertising agency like StubGroup can help. You need the ability not only to
read and understand your advertising campaigns’ analytics, but also to interpret them and
come up with a plan.
By checking the analytics of your current campaign, you can evaluate what is working for
your audience and what is not. Then, based on that data, you can adjust your campaign to be
more cost-effective, efficient, and financially remunerative.
The numbers will tell you where your target audience is spending the most time in
relationship to your advertising and marketing efforts, such as on social media networks,
reading emails, wathcing videos, etc.
This kind of information is invaluable to understanding your audience and making the best
use of your advertising budget. Once you know where and how your audience spends time
online, you can focus your efforts there to learn more about them and interact with them
more effectively.
