Every marketer understands how ad dollars must be spent to reach their target market. And you’ve probably heard fundamentals of this business wealth building strategy.

But, why do so many marketers avoid the notion and decide their offer is so great that EVERY human being on the planet can use it? They think they have the best strategy lessons, negotiating techniques, mindset, positioning, profit enhancement methods to use, however, when it comes to advertising, most marketers are simply winging it!

There are many excuses marketers make when asked why they are not really taking the time to understand the demographics, and behavioral pattern of their best customers. Marketers must answer just about every basic, fundamental question, issue or fear they could have about doing this for themselves.

The reason for this may be there aren’t enough advertising resources out there which offer marketers the option to reach their specific target market affordably with a low-cost proposition.

Better targeting may cost you a bit more than general targeting, but it will produce much more of an outcome in regards to customers and sales. In fact, once you gain a momentum, all the complexities, numbers and possibilities fall into place.

Strategically speaking, it is extremely important to know your ideal customer. Do not assume a profile of your best customer is all you’ll need. Send them a survey and ask them some key questions.

You’ll want to create an Avatar of your ideal customer. You can even give them a name so it’s easier to communicate with them while sitting down to write a sales letter, or an email message to your list.

For Example:

My ideal customer’s name is ____________
Lives in ___________
Values are ____________
What are their worries? _________
What excites him/her? ____________

The more personal you are the better you can serve them. Use your customer’s Avatar to communicate to your target market. Use your customer Avatar when you pick your advertising channels. This will give you a visual, mental picture to qualify your responses, getting you people who are much more likely to be the kind of people you’re looking for.
