If 100 businessmen are gathered together TODAY it will be hard for us to see 10 out of those 100 that will be able to give the right answer to this question.
And what is the question
“WHO ARE YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE?
Out of this 100 people, I am sure 80 of them will say “EVERYONE IS MY AUDIENCE”
Which is a big fat lie
And you know that (Everyone can’t be interested in what you are offering)
See! The best way to have an unsuccessful marketing campaign is to think EVERYONE IS YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE?
Wait before I show you the answer to that question
Can you answer it?
If No
Then you really need to pay attention to this content because no matter how solid, good and beautiful your product is if your targeting is wrong
There is 100% probability that you will only make zero or little sales
Yes you heard me right
Take for example
You give a blind man a smartphone and you expect him to appreciate it
Which kind appreciation (Lol) since he doesn’t know how valuable and important the product you gave him is
But give a man that is educated and hustling but does not have a phone, 2months from that time he will keep appreciating you and calling you sir/ma everytime he sees you

The same thing applies when it comes to TARGETING
you may have a solid brand logo, good products or services but, if your targeting is wrong, there won’t be any conversion in the products or service you are pitching out
because you are showing the right product to a wrong audience
Take a look at this other example
There are two categories of people
the first set of people have been in a cool environment for the whole day, and they need a water to drink, but they are in a cool environment
And the second set of people have been working tirelessly under a hot sun
they also need water to drink but can’t find a water seller since they’ve been working under the sun
And you have a cooler full with chill cold water
Among this two set of people who do you think will take your product more serious?
Am sure it the second set of people who have been inside a hot sun right?
Even if you call a bottle or sachet #400 or #200 they will surely buy
Do you understand that example?
that’s to show you, how a target audience can affect your profit margin Positively and negatively.
That the reason why you need to pay attention to this targeting part so as to have a positive result
How To Expose Your Brand/Business To a Wide Range Of Audience And Also Generate More Customers And Sales Using “Audience Word Of Mouth Marketing Strategy”
Have you ever watch Americans movie, where policemen are looking for a criminal or a suspect
you will notice they always have the file of who they are looking for i.e (THEIR TARGET)
And the file will contain the name of the target, location, picture e.t.c
Note:- Am not a police officer ooo (LOL) neither is any of my family into the military( though the military is good i also observe and learn it from those movies)
