Making customers continually love your work and choose you is a challenge.
We plan offers, discounts, recruit the best staff… and even then, there are chances of us failing. Why?

If you can find out the applicable-information, from the above list, about your end-user, creating strong campaign becomes easy, and makes it easier for you to come up with the right products/services that your target audience are looking for.
It works effectively, mainly because you know what exactly your customer is looking for, where does he prefer making the purchase, what his budget is, when does he need it by, what exactly his expectations are, and so on.
So, focus on knowing your customer before trying to sell your product/service.
The same strategy also helps you in coming up with useful blog posts or videos targeting your end-users.
Good luck!
