Understand What a Brand Persona Is
-
Gather Data
- Primary Data: This is information you gather directly from your audience. It includes surveys, interviews, and focus groups. For example, you can ask your customers about their preferences, challenges, and what they look for in a product or service.
- Secondary Data: This is information collected from existing sources. It includes market research reports, industry studies, and online analytics. Tools like Google Analytics and social media insights can provide valuable data on your audience’s behaviour.
-
Conduct Surveys and Interviews
- Surveys: Use online tools like Google Forms or SurveyMonkey to create surveys. Ask questions about demographics, interests, buying habits, and challenges. Keep the surveys short and to the point to encourage participation.
- Interviews: Conduct one-on-one interviews with a few customers. This allows for deeper insights into their motivations and preferences. Prepare open-ended questions to encourage detailed responses.
