What is Audience Targeting?
Audience targeting is designed to reach out to consumers based on their interests and demographics. The ways that they are targeted vary, depending on their industry. However, in today’s day in age, they are all mainly done through digital methods. These online methods include Social Media and targeted ads while other methods include physical targetings like mailers and billboards. Additionally, there are ways to combine physical targeting like location into digital methods.
The overall method of audience targeting includes identifying core consumers and matching your value proposition with their needs. This allows for your product to be in front of the right people in the right places at the right time. Once you identify your target audience you will be able to reach out to your fanbase and acquire the customers you need.
