It may sound obvious but the better you know who your customers are and what their preferences are the better your chances of finding them without having to SHOUT!
How do you get the attention of your potential customers?
What media do your customers prefer to use to get information on the problems you can solve? With the ever expanding universe of media options how do you decide where to invest? Let your customers make the decisions for you.
Where do they spend time online? Where do they network? How do they learn more about their profession? Who are they influenced by?
Finding out more about your customer’s preferences is crucial to making the right investment decisions. However choosing the right media vehicles (mouth pieces) is only half of the journey. What you have to say to customers when you find them is even more important.
What insight do you have about customers that can demonstrate you know them perhaps better than they know themselves?
Being an Ironman triathlete one of my favorite examples of this comes from the following Cliff Bar commercial which shows what its like to be a “triathlete”
This super creative 30 second tv spot really speaks to the target customer. It says we know who you are and how you feel, it is a great example of connecting with customers on an emotional level.
Was it successful? Only Cliff Bar have the actual data on that but as a customer its something I love to talk with other triathletes about. The impact of the message also means that Cliff Bar is always top of mind when it comes to selecting or recommended sports nutritional products to others.
Which company ads or messages really stand out for you?
