What is a Buyer Persona?
To paraphrase Adele Revella, founder of Buyer Persona
Institute, a buyer persona is defined as…
“A detailed profile of an example buyer that represents
the real audience – the buyer that you hope to persuade
to buy your products, services or solution.”
www.woodstreet.com @jonmikelbailey
What is a Buyer Persona?
You are selling something...
a product, an idea, an event.
You are selling something to someone.
So, how do you get them to buy it?
www.woodstreet.com @jonmikelbailey
What is a Buyer Persona?
Before you build a website and a blog or “do social”…
• Who your customers?
• What do they care about?
• What are they really buying?
Hint: people who purchase a car…
aren’t usually buying the “car”.
www.woodstreet.com @jonmikelbailey
Who are we talking about?
Don’t say “anyone who…”
www.woodstreet.com @jonmikelbailey
How to Identify Your Buyer Personas
First, consider actual data for your customers…
• Demographics
• Their value, in money, reach and return business
• How they prefer to interact with you…
phone, email, website, mobile, social, etc
www.woodstreet.com @jonmikelbailey
• Who are they?
• What do they do?
• Why should they care
about your organization?
• Where are they and
where do they find you?
• How do you convert them
into a client or a fan?

www.woodstreet.com @jonmikelbailey
Brad wants information, content…
• These are your content “outposts”

And I’ll leave you with a quote…
I asked Ann Handley, author of Content Rules,
what the most important takeaway from her book was…
“Be relentlessly customer-focused
and not corporate-focused.
Ask yourself…
‘What marketing will my customer THANK me for?’”
