Understanding the Problem is the Key

When it comes to running your business, there’s no better way to connect with your clientele than to create a detailed buyer persona. A buyer persona helps to establish the motivations and shopping habits of your target audience. It also helps your copywriters and sales team formulate advertising campaigns and social media posts that are tailored towards these valued customers.

Although many companies recognize the value of formulating a buyer persona, few companies know how to make the most of their efforts. There are many different ways to utilize the information that comes from taking the time to build a proper buyer persona. You’ll be able to understand your customers needs, wants, desires, and motivations. Perhaps most importantly, however, you have the opportunity to understand your customer’s problems that have encouraged them to search for your product.

The Value of Understanding Problems

When it comes to problems, many companies are quick to say that money is the only obstacle to a point of sale. This, however, is far from the truth. There are many other obstacles that can stand in the way of your buyer persona’s purchase.

To understand the value of understanding problems, you need to also understand how you can address these problems with a solution. We’ll take a look at some common problems below.

Your Customer’s Problem is Inefficiency

Of all the problems that exist in the market, one of the most common is simply inefficiency. There are many ways in which inefficiency can be a problem. One of these problems could be a user interface that isn’t easy for new users or non-technological thinkers. If your customer has worked with bad technology in the past, you can address their problem by explaining how simple your technology is to work with.

Your customer could also have some difficulties with technology that is too time consuming to be useful. There are some applications that require too many small steps to complete one task in a time efficient manner. If you know that time efficiency is a problem your customers have faced in the past, make sure you can demonstrate the quick and seamless transitions in your products.

Your Customer’s Problem is Dealing With Too Many Features

It may seem counter intuitive, but there are many products that offer too many features for their customers to use. The resulting mess makes it difficult to navigate and find the features the customers actually want to use. When the app gets too crowded, it can be discouraging for people to use and can cause people to stop using an otherwise amazing app.

Analyze the Problem and Advertise a Solution

When you’ve determined the problem (or problems) that is most likely to cause an issue for your customers, you’ll be able to work towards creating an effective advertising campaign that addresses your customers problems and concerns before they become a deterrent for your product. Make sure you constantly analyze the needs of your customer base to stay one step ahead of your target audience’s needs!
