Saunas and sauerkraut - do you know your audience?

Longevity is hot right now. 

We’re entering a new era where people around the world are taking charge of their health and have made longevity cool. Younger people in particular, are switching out night clubs for saunas and sauerkraut. Why? Quality of life. 

Better research means we are beginning to understand how we can optimise our health through sleep, nutrition and exercise to live longer. We put more focus on balancing our lifestyle and being the best version of ourselves reaping many mental, physical and relational benefits. Not only does this help us in our personal lives but it means we perform better at work better too. 

Cost weighs in on this as well, especially when we consider social connections. Rather than a night out drinking, younger people are looking for less costly ways to connect - think about your local run clubs and multisports. 

So how does this relate to your business? 

Know your audience. Before we can develop your marketing and communication strategy, we need to meet the people that are interested in your product or service. Why? 

1. To understand what makes them tick. Why are they looking for a certain product or service? What problem do they have that you can solve? What do they value? By looking at what motivates them we can help communicate your point of difference. 

2. To craft messaging that resonates with their specific needs, interests and pain points. Tailored messaging is more likely to get your audience's attention and encourage them to interact with your brand. It also ensures your audience feels understood and valued - whether a new or returning customer. 

3. To engage with your audience at the right time in the right place. It’s important to consider where your audience seeks out businesses like yours and when in their journey you come in. By meeting them there, you’ve provided a convenient, easier way for them to connect with you. 

4. To target your audience more effectively. This means you’re not wasting precious resources on broad brush marketing activities. The more targeted you are, the more your audience is going to engage with you and the higher return on investment. 

5. To make better, informed decisions. Use your existing data to understand your customers and set benchmarks to access growth. A competitor and market analysis is key to understanding why your audience engages with brands like yours and what you can do to ensure you stand out.  

As like the longevity of your health is related to optimising how you prioritise the ways you nourish your body, longevity to business is successful marketing by understanding your audience and putting them first. This can build business reputation, attract the right clients and ensure you’re putting your best foot forward.
