Problems You Can Solve

More importantly, you can discover the problems your audience is facing. The best marketing addresses customers’ problems and offers them solutions.

Your Target Market’s Buying Behavior

You may be able to discover more about your target market’s buying behaviors by looking at the people they follow. They may follow businesses they buy from. They may follow content creators that promote or write reviews of products they’re interested in.

Get a Grasp of the Competition

Knowing who your audience follows also gives you some insight into the competition. You can better understand who is popular in the industry and then figure out ways to set yourself apart. Through this, you can discover your own unique strengths. You may find a way to fill a gap in the market that no one else is covering.

How to Find out Who Your Audience Follows

The best way to find out who your audience follows is social media. A quick look at any of your followers’ profiles will show you what other businesses they like. Following your audience and seeing what they post will also help.

You can also ask your customers directly. One way to do this is by conducting online surveys. You can hold focus groups online where you discuss what people follow and what products they buy. You can also use each touchpoint with a customer to casually ask them.

What Can You Do with This Information?

The insights you gain from seeing who your followers follow is an important part of building your customer profile. It will help you identify your audience’s preferences and needs. But you can take things one step further by using this information to research your competitors. Create a list of businesses or content creators you see a great number of your audience members following and follow them yourself. Keep abreast of what they’re doing, and you’ll get ideas for things you can do.

To go one step even further, you can identify influencers among these businesses to reach out to and collaborate with. There are many benefits to doing this, but one is that it will lend you further credibility and expertise in the eyes of your customers.
