Understanding Your Audience

Step one: Identify your target demographics. Who is your customer and what makes them tick? From age and location to interests and behaviors, every detail counts.

It’s not just about knowing your audience—it’s about connecting with them on a level that resonates, building relationships that last, and turning casual scrollers into loyal brand advocates.
