Deciding on your audience when buying a targeted email list
Before launching your marketing campaign for your products or services, it is essential to carry out detailed market research to identify the most relevant and receptive people to aim your advertising towards. In fact, if you’ve been involved in developing and nurturing your great product, it may well help you to gather opinions of third parties too. A solution to this is to buy data such as a targeted email list to help raise the awareness of your products and services. So, how do you know what the perfect contact list for your audience is?

Here are some questions to consider when you are carrying out a marketing campaign
Who wants your product or service?
It’s a blunt question; however you need to answer it as clearly and truthfully as you can. Do some research to establish the sort of person or business that will want or need your product.
What sort of person wants your product or service?
When you’ve focused in on the sector, try to build up as detailed a customer profile as possible. This includes basic demographics such as age, gender, background, location and income. Then try to establish some attitudinal attributes: interests, lifestyle, hobbies etc.
Where does your audience look for products?
Even if you’ve established accurately the people most likely to want your products or services, you won’t reach them unless you know how they acquire buying knowledge. Are they looking online and/or offline? Do they respond to letters, emails, texts, Google Ads, apps, tweets, TV ads, newspapers or none of these? The list of possible channels is longer than ever and fragmenting and evolving daily.
