A buyer persona can be a great tool in figuring out how to market your product or service, but what does creating a buyer persona involve? Why is it useful? We’ve created a quick guide to creating your buyer persona below! 
 
What is a buyer persona? 
 
A buyer persona is like a character in a book that represents the type of customer your business caters for. 
It’s the same kind of idea as a target audience, but a lot more specific. With buyer personas, you’re narrowing down exactly the kind of person you have in mind. Not every buyer you have has to fit this persona, but most people who purchase from you should have at least something in common with your BP. 
 
How can this help your business? 
 
Knowing your buyer persona can help you to create the best advertising and marketing campaigns for your business. Once you know the kind of person is most likely to buy your product or service, you’ll have a better idea of how to find and reach them. 
 
Why do I need a buyer persona? 
 
You don’t need to have map when you go hiking – but it definitely helps! Creating a specific buyer persona will help you market with precision and clarity. Knowing exactly who you are marketing to makes it easier to make better decisions about your advertising and social media.
