Who Is Your Audience
The following report includes some fascinating
information about your audience--info you can use, not just the
old stuff they used to tell you.
Who Is Your Audience?
Understanding the type of people who visit your site is a very
important task because you can use that information to enhance your
site to suit them. As a result, you will gain extended loyal returning
visitors that come back again and again for more.
What is the age level and what kind of knowledge does your audience
have? A layman might linger around a general site on gardening, but a
professional botanist might turn his nose at the very same site.
Similarly, a regular person will leave a site filled with astronomy
abstracts but a well educated university graduate will find that site
interesting.
Take your audience's emotional chronicle into consideration when
building your site. If a very irritated visitor searches for a solution
and comes across your site, you will want to make sure you offer the
solution right up front and sell or promote your product to him second.
In this way, the visitor will put his trust in you for offering the
solution to his problems and is more destined to buy your product when
you offer it to him after that.
I trust that what you've read so far has been informative. The
following section should go a long way toward clearing up any
uncertainty that may remain.
When you design the layout for your site, you have to booty into
account the characteristics of your audience. Are they old or young
people? Are they looking for trends or are they just looking for
information served without any icing on the cake? For example,
introducing a unlike, exciting game with a simple, straightforward
black text against chalky background page will gladly attribute
prospects away. Make sure your design suits your site's general theme.
Try to drench colloquial language in your sites sparingly where you see
fit and you will create a sense that your audience is on common ground
with you. This in turn builds a trusting relationship between you and
your audience, which will come in useful should you want to market a
product to your audience.
