Understanding Your Target Market
A successful marketing plan begins with a deep understanding of your audience. By identifying the needs and preferences of potential clients and their referrers, you can craft content and services that truly resonate. Key considerations include:
- Demographics: Understand the age, gender, location, and income levels of your target audience.
- Legal Needs: Focus on common challenges faced by clients in your area and double down on any industry niches that your firm covers.
- Preferred Channels: Use digital and social platforms your audience engages with to cost effectively deliver the best results.
This cohesive approach ensures your messaging aligns with your audience’s expectations and maximises online impact.
