Be obsessed with your audience or be average

There’s already a lot of content out there. By knowing your clients well, you can add value, not extract value.

In today’s digital age, where consumers have a wealth of information at their fingertips and countless options to choose from, it’s more important than ever for brands to be obsessed with their customers.

Brands that focus on understanding and meeting the needs of their customers are able to create content that resonates with their target audience and drives engagement.

Understanding your customers allows you to create content that speaks directly to their needs, preferences, and pain points. When you know what motivates your customers, you can create content that addresses their specific concerns and interests. This helps to build a strong connection between your brand and your target audience, making them more likely to engage with your content and share it with others.

Customers are looking for content that adds value to their lives by answering a question or providing a solution. This lets brands create content that not only informs and entertains but also provides solutions to the challenges they face. This type of content will always outcompete other content, be shared and remembered, and help build a brand’s reputation. This is because content on digital platforms is the biggest way brands communicate with consumers.

What goes into understanding your clients well?

You need to be able to answer the following:

  • What is the demographic of your audience?

  • What do they value as human beings?

  • What are their challenges and pain points?

  •  What do they seek when engaging with brands to solve their problem?

  • What are the obstacles they experience when coming to make a purchase?

 

When you can confidently answer these questions, your content strategy takes a turn. Now, you’re publishing content that is personalised to your target client while also being designed for conversion. Content that consistently addresses the needs and interests of its target clients, sends the message that you understand their priorities and care about their experience. This helps to build a relationship of trust, making your customers more likely to become loyal brand advocates and recommend your products and services to others.

Consumers have consistently proven that this is the type of content that they want to see best and algorithms are prioritising it for them. Brands must make sure that they are meeting these demands, so that they can scale their own business goals.

We have helped many clients understand their target clients well, to translate into enhanced content strategies and performance.
