Reaching Target Market
Every enterprise has a target market for its audience.
It can be defined by factors such as age, location, education, hobbies, gender etc.
Not all promotional methods are used by all people.
If a business doesn’t promote in the right places, they won’t reach the right audience.
For example, social media marketing won’t reach the target audience if it is mostly composed of elderly people.
