What does this mean to you? Have you determined who your market is and where they shop? Are they millennials, are they seniors? How much of their shopping or research is done online? Are you maximizing your online potential? For most of us, it is not difficult to answer these questions.

Knowing your market is half the challenge. The next step is in reaching them and holding their attention. You want to keep their attention by giving them valuable content. Don’t just sell them your product. Educate them on why your product or service is valuable to them. What are they going to like most about your product or service?

You can even go as far as asking their opinion on your product. Be open-minded and let them know you appreciate their opinion. Keep in mind, you can have the world’s best product but if no one knows about it, it is only your best kept secret.
