What are user personas?
They are your ideal customer. The ones you are making and selling the product to.
There can be more than one user persona, and most likely will be. The key identifier is that each persona shares the same characteristics.
In this article, let’s go through the process of creating user personas for your small ( or not-so-small) business.
Step 1: Identify Your Target Audience
Who are the people that are most likely to use your product or service? What are their demographics, interests, and behaviours?
Consider key demographics including age, gender, income level, and education level. You should also consider psychographic factors, such as interests, values, and personality traits.
Step 2: Gather Information about your customers.
This can be done through surveys, interviews, or focus groups. The goal is to gather as much information as possible about your customers’ goals, needs, and pain points.
If you are stuck think of answering these:
- What are your customers’ goals?-
- What are their biggest challenges or pain points?-
- What motivates them to use your product or service?
- What are their habits and behaviors?
- How do they use your product or service?
Step 3: Create User Personas
Once you have gathered all of the necessary information create user personas. A user persona is a fictional representation of your ideal customer.
Give them a name, age, occupation, and other key demographic information.
In addition to demographic information, your user persona should also include information about your customer’s goals, needs, and pain points.
This information should be based on the data you collected in the stages above.
Once you have created your user personas, it’s time to put them to use. Your user personas can be used to guide product development, marketing strategies, and customer service efforts.
