What is the definition of a target market? A Target Market is a group of customers that the business has decided, because of it’s Emotionally Charged Connection or why, and its mission and vision, to aim its marketing efforts and its merchandise towards. A well-defined target market is a fundamental element to a winning referral marketing strategy. This means for our Asentiv clients its more about connection, than just the the ability to access a clients cheque books. This ability to connect with a client at a deeper level, makes them behave in a way that’s much more dependable, loyal and means clients tend to stay longer and spend more.
When people believe what you believe, price is no longer an issue. They will stay with you longer. Buy from you more and refer you more often. By training you referral sources and partners in who you are looking for and why, it makes it easier for them to identify the right clients for you.
