BUSINESS, MARKETING, and MONEY

The best marketing is going to be aimed at a set target audience, but what exactly do you need to know about this target audience to achieve success with your marketing? There will be certain differences in what you want to keep track of depending on the type of marketing you plan on doing, say for your poster printing campaigns. Looking at the more technical side of things if you plan to use direct mailing than you will obviously need to know a list of addresses for this target audience. For those using something like color poster printing instead you will need to know some good locations for them as well.

Still, there are certain things that you will want to know no matter what type of marketing you plan on doing, because this will apply to all forms of advertising.

The first has to do with the types of images and themes you will need to use. All marketing makes use of visuals to both attract attention and deliver the message being sent. The better the visuals are the more likely it is someone will actually look at your ad to begin with.

For color poster printing the visuals makes sure someone actually looks over at the poster on the wall. For postcards you can be certain that a person will pick up your postcard out of their pile of mail. The same is true for them picking up brochures or taking a look at your flyer. The visuals are what catch their eye, and you have to know what visuals will appeal to them.

Next comes the way your product can help them. You need to give people a reason why their life will be better in some way if they bought your product. To do that you first need to know what their life is like right now, or else how are you supposed to improve upon it?

Think about all of the different ways you think your product can make things easier for people, and then try to find the best ways to use that will resonate the most with your customers. People need to be able to visualize how their life will be improved by something before they are going to take a lot of interest in it. Your job is to help them does just that.

Another thing to take note of is how loud or quiet your advertising is. Loud advertising has very bright colors and large letters for the headlines. Quiet advertising is going to be far more subdued and more elegant. Different types of people react better to different kinds of advertising, and you need to know if you want a loud or quiet look to your marketing in order to best draw their attention.

No matter who your customers are, take the time to learn their interests and the best way to reach them. If you cannot do that than you cannot expect to be able to sell to them.
