Tips to Create Quality Personas to Increase Marketing ROI
Persona Questionnaire
Created through research of your target audience, personas include a mix of customers, prospects, and those outside of your database that might align with your target audience. It’s important to collect qualitative and quantitative data to get a picture of your ideal customer, what they value, and how your product/service fits into their daily lives.
To create your personas, start by asking your target audience the following questions:
- What is your gender, age range, skills, title/role in the company, and background information?
- Can you make purchase decisions?
- What is your company/firmographic information?
- What are your most important daily responsibilities? Daily office routine?
- What obstacles make your life more difficult at work?
- What would make your life easier?
- What do you read daily and where do you get information that helps you do a better job?
