5 Audience Targeting Tips to Live By

So many things to think about when your goal is to reach the RIGHT people, at the RIGHT time with the RIGHT message!

Just the thought of everything you have to do to “check all the boxes” can be daunting. But it doesn’t have to be difficult to gather the data, understand what it means, apply the learnings to messages across campaigns, and then monitor and track the performance.

Here are five tips to help you work smarter instead of harder:

1. TIP:  Know who your potential customer is and what they look like  

Gather all sorts of data including demographic, location, income, behaviors, and purchasing patterns. The more layers of data you gather, the more specific you can get in developing your message.

2. TIP:  Use your data to find new customers  

Get a good understanding of who your audiences are and then find look-alikes so you can expand to new audiences.  

3. TIP:  Use CRM data to target searchers who are already customers 

Loyalty is priceless and so is the value of this data. It tells you a lot about your current customers. Remember, your regulars are your rock, so use this information wisely!  

4. TIP:  Utilize paid search targeting that extends beyond the keyword  

Combine search with targeting based on past shopping or buying behavior, audience matching tactics, and demographics.

5. TIP:  Utilize search targeting to retarget customers on other platforms

Convert that sale by delivering your message to potential customers on social platforms such as Facebook or Instagram.
