I recently had a lead contact me and said that they didn’t want to create a website. Their coach said that they didn’t need one. I contacted her to find out just why the coach would say a business doesn’t need a website. As it turned out, this was indeed awesome, because she hadn’t defined her audience yet.
I admire her for waiting until she has her message clear, and isn’t wasting her money putting some vague message out there that may or may not hit the mark.
Try to ensure that any of your digital advertising, or any of your advertising in general for that matter, is targeted to your ideal customer. There’s no sense creating a blog, newsletter, or a website for people that will never use your service. That’s called spray and pray, and it is not a strategy.
Some of the factors that you have to consider are the age group of your customer, what business business sector do they work in. Is there a gender closely aligned with your product? Is there a religious group, a society or a charity who you are trying to reach?
Is your customer a weekend hiker?
The more accurately you define your target, the more effective your advertising is going to be, and the more sales you’re going to get.
To dig a little deeper, perhaps certain colors appeal to your demographic cohort, the imagery should relate to them. What about tone of voice? Are you serious? Excited? Having fun? It just depends on the audience you’re trying to reach.
The attributes of your audience are probably already in your own mind, but you just haven’t articulated it yet.
Her business coach gave great advice to her. So it is indeed awesome that she doesn’t need a website at this time. She would be wasting her money and time. It’s possible that we wouldn’t like each other by the time it’s over because the website that was built would have to be rebuilt once she defined her ideal customer.

Gary has forgotten more about technology than most of us will ever know. He’s worked in dozens of industries in a wide variety of roles and solves difficult problems recreationally. By the time you’ve formulated your question, Gary already has an answer, which would be annoying except he’s so darned nice about it.
When you put Adrian behind a keyboard, magic happens. On stage, that means he’s making music. At work, he’s bringing website designs to life. Adrian is probably the quietest member of the Unrivald Digital team, but when he speaks, we all listen because we know he’s got something important to say.
Shaheen is the guy you want in your corner when you’ve got a complex problem to solve in the next 15 minutes. He’s part MacGyver, part Tony Stark and part while still being the nicest guy in the room, hands down. His soft-spoken, down-to-earth vibe and ability to deliver makes him a client favourite.
Whether leading a meeting, riding his motorcycle, or running in the Banff Jasper Relay (for which he was Race Director for many years), Blair connects with the world around him. He inspires his team to work hard while never forgetting the value of the relationships he builds with clients.
