Buyer Persona Template

What’s rule number one when it comes to creating content? Know your audience!

If you don't know what kinds of people you're talking to, how can you know what to say to them, and get them to react how you want?

Relevance is crucial when it comes to content marketing. You can’t just assume you know what your customers or prospects care about. Understanding that takes research and some effort on your part, but it will pay dividends when you see people engaging with your content.  

So how can you do that?

Buyer personas help you understand your customers and prospective customers. This makes it easier for you to tailor your content, messaging, and tone – as well as product development and services – to the specific needs, behaviors, characteristics, and concerns of different groups across channels.

These personas will also help you understand intent so you know what groups are more likely to convert and those that will take more time and nurturing.
