Personas are the starting point of Inbound
If you are thinking of skipping this step, or want to get busy writing content or building campaigns without a throughly researched persona, without doubt, your engagement, conversions and overall campaign performance will underperform.
What's in a Name?
There are so many ways you can describe personas. You may call them avatars, ICP's (ideal customer profiles), whatever title you give them is irrelevant, what is super relevant is developing them correctly to an advanced level and then giving them their own identity.
In this episode, we share Entrepreneur Eddie and provide a full breakdown of how and why we build them to such advanced levels.
The Construction Example
Think of personas like [the building architects plans] essential strategic foundations that [the builder] excavates and pour concrete into, if you are following the analogy of a construction site, foundations are critical. Personas play a crucial role in delivering a great inbound and content strategy.
A persona is a fictional character built to identify the type of prospects and eventually, clients you wish to acquire.
While fictional in nature, they are made up in component format from the information you gather from a real-life client, prospect interviews, marketing research and your team's experiences.
Speaking Their Language
Marketers who can connect, front and centre with their audience and have a conversation with what is in their heads 'there and then' have a unique advantage.
Great persona creation allows you to write content, build campaigns that connect and solve the personas number one challenge or pain point, where the prospect feels your public campaign is speaking to them directly.
