Elements for a Great Target Market Table

The critical elements needed for a powerful target market table are:

• Decide who your top 2-3 target markets are
  • You might want to break up and order these target markets by:
    • Most profitable
    • Biggest
    • Biggest Growth Opportunity
    • Etc

• Decide which market is your focus market and put them first

• Describe each target market in detail, go into detail, what is their job title, what is their geographic distribution, what age and gender are they?

• Decide what their needs are – not your needs of them (I need them to buy from me) but their needs (I need to run a successful business)

• Look into the neuromarketing and limbic maps and decide what sector they belong to and which wording and imagery will appeal to them based on this

• Then you can add in which of your products or services they are interested in

• And add in messaging – what will you say to them based on their needs

• Then finally, which channels will you use to reach your target market
  • Break this into traditional marketing channels and digital marketing channels
  • This isn’t the channels you like using or are comfortable with, these are the channels they use
  • This becomes the basis for your entire marketing strategy

• You can add in columns for:
  • Articles – article ideas
  • Influencers – who influences them?
  • Email marketing – frequency
  • Etc

• Now you can go further and add in the months – Jan to December detailing what you will do for each target market each month.

The more research that goes into your table, the better it will be.
