North Star At Home Based Business

When you think about attracting new customers to your at home based business, what do you think about first? If you’re working online, you’re probably working hard at one of the many home based Internet businesses available and chances are you’re asking, “How can I get more traffic to my site?” If you’re an offline home based small business, you might be asking, “How can I get more customers?”

Both of these questions are exactly the kind of questions top home based business entrepreneurs should be asking. But think about the kind of answers you’re likely to get by asking such broad-based questions.

If you’re in a computer home based business and you’re selling little girls hair ribbons for example, you don’t want to drive software engineers to your website – that would be worthless. And if you’re a local ski-tuning shop, you probably don’t want to spend your money advertising to people who are not skiers.

So the first question you should be asking – regardless of your business model – is, “Who ARE my customers?”

Who Are They?

Once you’ve asked that question, you’ve got to go even a few steps deeper and figure out what they look like, sound like, act like? How old are they, what is the socio-economic level of your most-likely customer? Where do they live, what do they like, what do they eat, do the have a family?

Take some time to really get a complete description of the kind of customer your business home Internet marketing and/or offline marketing is most likely to appeal to?

The next question you’re going to want to ask is, “Where do they congregate?”

Where Are They?

Now you’re getting down to the important issue. To know how to reach them, you’ve got to know where they congregate? Where do they gather?

If you’re focusing on an online home based business opportunity, once you’ve figured out who your target customer is, and what they like, online forums are one of the great areas to find them.

Online folks love to gather in the many forums and talk about their problems, issues and opportunities. Start checking out the forums for people who have the characteristics of your target market. See what they are talking about and what keywords they target to understand more about them than you knew before.

If you’re in the traditional off-line market, you will be able to go to the newspapers and check the section for up-coming events. If you’re starting a preschool in your home for example, your market is young families with pre-school aged kids. There probably are neighborhoods in your area that are specially attractive to young families? And there are parenting organizations like PTA and others that meet where you live.

The point is to understand where people who are your Target Market gather so that you can spend your marketing dollars most effectively.

The next question is; Now that I know Who they are and Where they congregate; “How best shall I reach them?”

How To Reach Them?

You’ve done the hard work of defining your target market in terms of who and where, now the fun begins with the how.

If you’re online, you’ve been targeting keywords and attending the forums, adding information of value, creating trust among the people in the forums and establishing yourself as something of an top home business expert. Now its time to show them what you’ve got.

If you’re offline, you will have gone to meetings to meet and greet, started to build relationships, and now its also time for you to use the network of people you’ve cultivated to help you with your word of mouth campaigns.

You can also use flyers in the neighborhoods that meet your demographics.
