Create a tailored message for your target audience

from Resonate: Present Visual Stories that Transform Audiences by Nancy Duarte

How to Apply This

  1. Segment your audience. Divide your larger audience into smaller subgroups based on relevant criteria such as demographics (age, gender, occupation) or other characteristics that align with your presentation goals. This segmentation allows you to focus on the specific segment that will be most receptive to your message.
  2. Define your target segment. Choose the segment that aligns best with your presentation objectives and select the individuals who hold the highest priority. Determine which segment will benefit the most from your message or have the potential to take action. This will ensure that your message feels personalized and relevant to those who matter most.
  3. Conduct audience research. Gather insights about your target segment to better understand their interests, values, and perspectives. Conduct surveys or interviews to collect information directly. Explore industry blogs, forums, or social media profiles to gain a deeper understanding of their needs and preferences. This research will help you tailor your message effectively.
  4. Craft a tailored message. Develop a message that resonates with your target segment by incorporating shared experiences, goals, or values. Use the insights from your research to address their specific pain points and aspirations. Focus on creating common ground and emphasizing how your message can help them overcome challenges or achieve their goals.
