Audience Development
Building a standout product or service is not enough to guarantee business success. A successful business must also ensure the product meets the needs and desires of its audience to excel. Enter audience development.
The Importance of Audience Development
Why is audience development important? Can you imagine Denny’s advertising in Travel + Leisure? Or a fine artist going door-to-door to sell their oil paintings. Of course not. Because these examples clearly show a lack of understanding for the audience most likely to consume or purchase their products.
The key to driving new and repeat business is engagement. But building a product or service that is appealing to a customer means understanding what is important to that customer. Service? Location? Price? Innovation? Sustainability? Your product may have all the right features, but if you don’t highlight those features, the audience will turn elsewhere for its solutions.
