Launch Loudoun Monthly: Break into New Markets and Find Ideal Clients
Many entrepreneurs are SO excited about their new venture that they believe everyone can (or should) be their customer. But that's really not the case with most businesses. The more tightly you can define your ideal client, the easier it will be to find them and to reach them.
Think about ads you’ve seen or heard lately. Did they make you super excited? Did you rush out to join that gym, order that fast food item, subscribe to that music channel, or open a new bank account? Odds are, most of the marketing you encounter on a daily basis just isn’t right for you; you’re not everyone’s ideal client. And everyone isn’t yours.
