It\u2019s a lengthy practice, which in most cases will be plagued by uncertainty, dynamism and (in many cases) impossibilities. But having a personal touch to your marketing is important. While you are handicapped in fully personalizing all aspects of your marketing, buyer personas will absolutely work for you to add that personal touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/buyer-persona-definition-under-100-sr\">Buyer personas<\/a> are semi-fictional representations of your ideal customers based on real data and some educated speculation. Their purpose is to give you a general idea of what to deliver to a general clientele with respect to the buyer persona they fall under. The best (and most accurate) way to get information about your ideal customers is extremely simple: Ask them. You\u2019d be surprised how many people love talking about themselves. You can conduct customer interviews and give them a little something for taking part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If for whatever reason, you do not have the ability to conduct customer interviews, or a customer survey, there are some sneaky tips that can help you find the information you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Social Media<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many buyers post very personal data on their <a href=\"https:\/\/ironmarkusa.com\/what-we-do\/capabilities\/digital-advertising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">social media<\/a> accounts which \u2013 in more cases than not \u2013 is open to the public. Buyer preferences can (with some effort) be extracted from their social media accounts. Having a customer\u2019s links to their social media accounts will save a lot of hassle in obtaining that personal information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Industry Forums<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When customers talk to one another, a magical thing happens: They tell the whole and honest truth. If you can find a forum where your customers hang out \u2013 either on a LinkedIn group, association, or a general question forum like Reddit or Quora \u2013 stalk it. It\u2019s especially useful to read these conversations because you learn exactly the way your customers talk, and how they talk is the way they like to read or listen. This helps you build your content in <em>their<\/em> language, not yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Browser Cookies and History<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve probably come across a notification while browsing that the website you\u2019re on uses cookies. Cookies will (at their most basic level) give up all your browsing behavior. Having an application to collect cookies will help you easily collect buyer preferences, all the while following all legal channels, without really having to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-alt-serif-font-family\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ironmarkusa.com\/ultimate-inbound-marketing-terminology-guide\"><strong>Related: The Ultimate Inbound Marketing Terminology Guide<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Online Book or Product Reviews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Review sites are another great way to eavesdrop on customers speaking their mind. Whether its Amazon, Yelp or a specialized industry review site, people tell it like it is in reviews \u2013 especially bad reviews. Take note. Listen to the language they use, and problems they have. Most likely if they are reviewing a competing product or service, your ideal buyers would have the same complaints. You can get ahead by creating content that tackles those problems, positioning your company as the go-to resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personality Tests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up a personality test, or any kind of test that will require someone to give up some personal information about themselves, is a unique way for extracting the information you need. A personality test will have the buyer answering personal questions that in a basic sense will mean nothing to them, but in a marketing sense, will mean the world you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ironmarkusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Untitled-design-3.jpg\" alt=\"buyer persona tips - Ironmark, Annapolis Junction, MD\" title=\"buyer persona tips - Ironmark, Annapolis Junction, MD\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Surveys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although not as sneaky, having buyers take surveys will get you your prized information. Having buyers create personal accounts and giving them prizes (like discounts or gift cards) for filing surveys is bound to get you better results. Be sure to ask them specifically what problems or challenges that they face. This way you can gear the content you build to solve those problems, and enter their conversations in a positive way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Other Firms to Do It for You<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not have to do all the work. While some firms have policies against sharing buyer data that the buyer willingly presented, most do not have policies against sharing data they extracted on the buyers through other means. Similar firms will also most likely build similar buyer personas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intensive research and lead page optimization will go a long way to allow buyer personas to help you. Learning how each persona consumes products ensures better product and service placement. It will aid you a great deal employing buyer personas to deliver a more personalized service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us conduct your buyer persona interviews \u2013 here at Ironmark, we excel at getting to the core of customer motivations.
