Part 2: Who is your buyer?
Here’s the tricky part: who exactly is your buyer?
Create a buyer profile:
- Male / Female?
- Age?
- Relationship status?
- Education level?
- Geography?
- Job type?
- Hobbies?
- Style – earthy/elegant?
- Car, shoes, watch brand?
The more specific you are, the better your video production will be. Name your buyer
“Cameron is a 42 year old, an SUV driver, who just started work at a high tech company, has a wife of 3 years, his first child, and lives in Seattle.”
Are you unsure of your buyer profile? Here is a huge hint for you, the producer, writer, and marketing professional: Search for products similar to yours on social networks using the ‘Sales Force’ method:
Locate, Listen, Interact, Influence
- Locate the target audience by using keywords, product names, and brand names in the search bar of Facebook, or Twitter.
- Listen to what they say, how they post, react, and what groups and brands they like. Look at the photo, the age, the other groups they belong to, the posts they create. What trends do you see?
- What are they complaining about?
- What are the main reasons your perfect buyer does not come to your brand?
- How would you solve their problems?
- What is the experience you are able to deliver that improves their life?
