Part of the “Level Up Your Brand” Series
Every brand is crafted to forge a powerful connection with your target audience, be it customers or real estate agents. It’s not about what you prefer but about catering to their preferences. To mold your brand effectively, understanding your ideal customer or business partner is crucial.
To assist in identifying your ideal clients or business partners, consider this exercise, complete with sample questions. Customize these questions as needed. A creative approach is to envision your ideal client or business partner as a real person. Assign them a name and, as you answer the questions, imagine their physical appearance, age, and other characteristics. For instance, in the example below, we introduce Alex and Sara as our ideal clients, and Jenna as our ideal real estate agent.
Originators possess an existing audience; however, the objective is to refine your brand and focus your marketing initiatives. This strategy offers guidance on your communication style, content themes, platform choices, and overall plan.
While it’s not guaranteed that every effort will attract standout clients like Alex, Sara, or Jenna, remember that as long as you’re engaging with clients in the blue circles, you’re on the right path.
