A product is always chosen by a <strong>HUMAN<\/strong> who has questions, sees advantages and disadvantages, is undecided, has to take general conditions into account &#8211; and so on. None of this can be applied to a group when presenting a product. We communicate and interact with individuals or at least with types, explain special features, answer different questions and encourage decisions from completely different points of view.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Modern online and content marketers act according to this principle: product-centered one-way communication becomes a customer-centered sales and service interaction.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Buyer persona: It all starts with crucial questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The beginning of a content marketing campaign is therefore not the flowery and beautiful description of the product or offer, but the consideration from a completely different perspective:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who is your customer?<\/li>\n<li>What motivates him?<\/li>\n<li>What questions and ideas does he have?<\/li>\n<li>What are his biggest challenges?<\/li>\n<li>How does he inform himself?<\/li>\n<li>Where do they get their inspiration from, who influences their purchasing decisions?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"btn-campaign\" href=\"https:\/\/smart-pr.de\/de\/news\/blog\/zielgruppe-war-gestern-buyer-persona-heute\/\">Click here for the e-book<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You create a \u201cpersona\u201d, which from now on will partly determine your communication measures. Based on the questions, wishes and requirements of this person, the content of your online campaign is produced, offers written, search terms defined, guides and checklists written. In this way, the user repeatedly comes across your brand, your products and your images &#8211; and the path to a click &amp; buy or to a trusted retailer becomes shorter and shorter. Let&#8217;s take a furniture brand, for example: who buys a kitchen, which different personae should suppliers in this area focus on? Only then is it decided what the brand has to offer these potential buyers and how it could fulfill their wishes and needs.  <\/p>\n<p><strong><u>You choose the personae yourself, because you know best who your products are suitable for and which customers you want to reach.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can find a small guide with questions to help you develop the personae here: <u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.makemypersona.com\/\">http:\/\/www.makemypersona.com\/<\/a><\/u>.
