The target persona in your marketing is maybe the most critical piece of your business foundations. It’s just like the old adage says, if you’re speaking to everyone, you’re speaking to no one. But how are you supposed to determine your target market when you’re just starting your design business? How do you discover their wants and needs? And how does a SWOT analysis come into the mix? We are answering all this and more in today's episode with my guest, Bill Gelgota. Stick around for the rapid fire “but, Bill” questions and to see if this week’s Colorful Question is yours!

In this episode, you will be able to:

  1. Learn why having a target market matters when you're starting or running your business.
  2. Discover how to use demographics, sociographics, psychographics, and geographics to help you discover your target audience.
  3. Uncover how to know if you should continue with the same target audience or pivot in a new direction.
