Defining your target market is necessary because you need to develop messages that resonate within this specific group. Your content must speak the audience’s language and reach them on channels where they spend their time. As a digital marketer, I understand precisely how important it is to identify who I am speaking to, and who my core audience is? I discovered that I am speaking to those who have a dream of starting their own business, those who may have just started their businesses, and those looking for answers on how to fine-tune the marketing aspects of their business. You are my core audience. Hopefully, my insight will resonate with those who are trying to figure out how to refine and establish their brand, social media promotion, and e-commerce. As a digital marketing practitioner, I don’t want to come off like a marketing genius giving you advice. I am like you, still working hard to be the best, always hustling, grinding, and still to navigating my way through this maze. But through experience, I have gained a lot of knowledge on the importance of e-commerce and its catalyst to change that I’m more than happy to share. So, this blog aims to mix expertise with real talk, sharing terms and concepts needed as you become adept at defining your brand and defining your target market.
