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:

  1. What is your gender, age range, skills, title/role in the company, and background information?
  2. Can you make purchase decisions?
  3. What is your company/firmographic information?
  4. What are your most important daily responsibilities? Daily office routine?
  5. What obstacles make your life more difficult at work?
  6. What would make your life easier?
  7. What do you read daily and where do you get information that helps you do a better job?
