Advertising without knowing who you want the message to get to is the absolute worst way to waste your time and money.

The first step before creating any advertising campaign, either offline or online is to create a customer persona and then follow the necessary steps in finding them, collecting their information and presenting your offer to them.

In doing so, you should know where they like to hang out, what the social media platforms allow as adverts, what will entice your audience to click on your ad and even make a purchase.

It's important to understand their demographic information and how it translates to buying habits, the language they use to communicate their problems and the size of their pockets.

Some of this is information you can gather yourself, some you get from the customers when you ask them and some can even be gotten from competition and their adverts. Once you have this information, you can get to work tailoring your ads around your audience and the problem you will be solving for them.
