Ideal Client Profile
To create an ideal client profile, you first need to answer a few questions.

What specific needs do they have?
What are their pain-points?
What websites or blogs do they frequent?
Where do they congregate?
Are they active users on social media?
How Can You Use This Information?
This information helps in multiple ways. It sets the tone for what message should be transmitted on your website / social media. What services and / or products you should offer. The services should reflect what you ideal client wants to see. Take that information and determine what prices you should charge. For example, a luxury bride wants to see “luxury” price brackets. This information from the questions you have answers will help direct your Content Plan. Your blog/social media should be consistent to the audience you want to attract. Lastly, it will help determine which channels you should be targeting in your content marketing efforts. Are you ideal clients hanging out on Facebook or on blogs?
