How To Create Accurate Buyer Personas [Free Guide + Template]

Do you know who your business’s ideal prospects or buyer personas are? And if so, how much do you really know about them?

If you haven’t fully built out or developed accurate personas then it’s likely that your marketing campaigns are falling on deaf ears with zero to little engagement.

It doesn’t matter if you have beautiful designs or top-notch copy, if your campaign assets are not targeted to your ideal audience wants/needs then you will not break through the noise or capture prospective buyer’s attention.

If you want to have the best chance of getting attention from qualified prospects and convince them to buy from your company, then you’ll need to build out accurate buyer personas. By building out detailed buyer personas your company will be able to effectively drive content creation, sales follow-up, product development, customer service, and more.

Businesses that have implemented buyer personas within their marketing strategies have seen increases in ROI, and have developed a more informed understanding of their customers. The proof is in the data and stats:

• Using buyer personas in an email campaign improved open rate by 2x and clickthrough rate by 5x. – MLT Creative
• Using marketing personas made websites 2-5 times more effective and easier to use by targeted users. – HubSpot
• Personalized emails improve clickthrough rates by 14%, conversion rates by 10%, and drive 18 times more revenue than broadcast emails. – HubSpot
• 93% of companies who exceed lead and revenue goals segment their database by buyer persona.- Marketing Insider Group

Buyer personas, simply make sense. They’ll help you find and market to your best customers, but only when created accurately. Inaccurate buyer personas that are based on qualities that do not reflect your buyer’s true perspective can do more harm than good.
