They all have different needs. You personalize your approach in a sales call or big presentation. Like calling on a customer, your web content needs personalization.
Audience knowledge drives meaningful content. Personas help you develop that knowledge.
The more you know about your audience, the better you will be able to develop content that meets their needs. Developing personas, a semi-fictional representation of your target buyer, will allow you to quantify the key elements to integrate into your content.
A persona includes details such as:
- Industry
- Job Type
- Pain Points
- What Is Important To Them
- Goals And Objectives
- Information Sources
