Before customers can enjoy SimplifiedB2B’s products or services, they need to be aware of what you offer and be motivated to make a purchase. Reaching the right target group is more challenging than it might seem. Each target segment has different characteristics and motivations. It is, therefore, important to know who your target audience is and how to effectively reach them. In this article, we will share some of our most valuable tips to become best friends with your target audience and turn them into loyal customers.

Map out your target audience

Who are the people that SimplifiedB2B is targeting? Before your company can strategically reach the target audience, it is important to have a detailed image of your target group. By understanding the characteristics of your potential customers, SimplifiedB2B can implement strategies to reach the target audience successfully. You should therefore start by mapping out your target audience.

Give one of your marketing employees the job to learn as much as possible about the target group. Give them the opportunity to conduct desk research or primary research. This employee could even interview members of your target group to directly learn about their values and characteristics. This will not only help SimplifiedB2B receive valuable information but will also give your target group a positive impression of your company. It shows that SimplifiedB2B values the target group’s wishes. After these interviews, you and your team can observe where and how your products or services could fit into your target group’s everyday lives.

Use online channels your target audience uses

To reach your target group, you must act like their friend. After researching the target group, you will have insights into which online channels your target audience utilizes and what type of content they like to see. Remember that your customers will not come to you; you must go to them.

The best way to reach your target group is via social media. Use the channels they are using and develop a communication strategy to create your unique selling point. By being active on the same social media channels as your target audience, SimplifiedB2B will have the opportunity to get into the feed of your potential customers. Develop unique and interesting content that your target group would like to see and be patient; Rome was not built in a day.

Create value

The next important factor to consider is: How are customers going to remember SimplifiedB2B? This is a question that you must ask yourself. What makes SimplifiedB2B unique? Or why should they buy your products? Customers are only going to remember your company because you can offer them something of value. In this step, it is important to create a value statement and communicate this value to your customers. By setting a strong value proposition, your customers will have a reason to buy your products as you show them what you can offer.

It is important to align all communication with the value statement that you created. In the communication strategy, you can, for example, include a campaign that you share on all social media channels. By linking all the channels with the same value statement, your customers will see that SimplifiedB2B legitimately cares about its presentation and, therefore, the services. Furthermore, it is important to implement a regular posting schedule to keep it interesting for your customers to follow you on social media. To this day, many companies underestimate the power of social media. Social media can be your key to success!

Branding

After creating your value statements and communication strategies, it is important to create a strong brand identity. Keep in mind how you look at a person on the street. You remember their clothing style and personality. This goes exactly the same for how customers view companies. You should start by creating your own communication style. How does SimplifiedB2B want to be perceived? As a formal, serious company or as a supportive friend? The communication style should be visible on all social media posts.

The next step is to collect colors that will be the company’s brand colors. This could be two, three, or four colors that will be presented everywhere. Think of the logo, the products, the office, etc. As a company, it is important to have brand colors as this will be a point of recognition for the target group. Your customers will recognize SimplifiedB2B in its unique style.
