Buyer PersonaUnderstand your audience on a personal level

Your customers’ purchasing decisions are driven by more than just their age group or area code

Audiences are often defined by descriptors like age, gender, or geography. However, those categories are too broad to deliver actionable insights into each audience segment. Adding psychographic insights to demographic data achieves a more nuanced understanding of purchasing decisions. That’s where the Buyer Persona solution from Hanover Research comes into play. It adds color, context, and understanding to your audience.

The Buyer Persona solution uses both quantitative and qualitative research methods such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, and data analytics. Based on these findings, Hanover Research develops accurate and actionable personas that enable you to target your audience more precisely and increase the yield on your marketing spend.

Companies that tailor offerings to buyer segments secure 15% more annual profit.
