We put in so much effort, tried different strategies, kept tweaking to target the right audience, and even got advice from an expert. But still, the results didn’t improve. 🤔
This got me thinking about a common issue for marketers - putting too much time into making consumer personas. It’s an important exercise, but sometimes it feels like we make it more complicated than it needs to be. 🤯
Later, I tried something simple - a Lookalike Campaign, using an email list we got from a reliable source. It wasn’t a brand-new idea, but it worked really well and showed that using data we already have can be powerful. 🎯
As marketers, we know that we need to send specific messages to different groups because a general message doesn't work for everyone. But even when we have data, we sometimes just go with our gut feeling. We decide to target customers by segmenting them by a certain industry, designation or gender, but how do we know these are the best choices? And let's be honest, are we getting too bogged down in details? 🧐
Before we spend too much time making detailed consumer personas or doing a ton of A/B tests, let’s look at what we already have. Is buying leads a smarter, more efficient use of our time and money compared to building elaborate strategies to get leads? Can we use the data we already have more effectively to zero in on the right audience? 💡
Sometimes, it’s the simpler approaches that we might overlook that are the real gems. This doesn’t just apply to finding new customers; it's equally powerful for upselling to current customers. 💎
Focusing on using the data we have, and opting for simple and direct strategies can lead us to our goals efficiently. There’s a real power in clarity and simplicity, and sometimes that’s just what’s needed to get the ball rolling in the right direction. 🚀
