Right Message, Wrong People? How to Identify Your Target Audience
Your business may have a great message, a strong product, and a powerful online presence but if that message is reaching the wrong audience, it may not bring the results you expect, it doesn't mean your business or online presence is worthless the real problem is you aren't reaching your right audience.
"Your customers are already online. The real question is whether your business is reaching the right audience."
What is meant by the right market?
The real value of the product or service is decided not only by its build quality but also by where it can be really available to the customer.
The right marketplace means nothing but where the product/service gains its real value; for example, a good product might possess excellent quality, but its value can only be determined once it finds itself in the right market. Like how we would not place our luxury watches in the local grocery store, as where the product is placed alters the perception of its value.
The value of the product remains the same, but its position, presentation, and placement can change how much someone is willing to buy it for.
It should have a particular place to showcase the product; that's why the right market gives the real glory and real value to the product/service.
How to find the right market for your business?
Every niche has its own right market; it matters how really we are reaching out to the real customer.
Right Market = The Right People + The Right Need + The Right Intent + The Right Opportunity
And once you identify that market, your marketing becomes much more focused.
