Marketing Digital Buyer Persona Demographics

In chapter 3 on page 39 your textbook discusses the digital buyer persona. This persona focuses on understanding your target market with specific “personas”. These “personas” help you understand the different type of people who shop your businesses. Understanding who shops your business will help you create tailored solutions for their problems. Parents with three kids who are heavily involved in sports are going to need a different type of vehicle than the college student who is working a part time job and only has a dog to care for.

This week I want you to only focus on the demographics of this persona project. Creating a “persona” would take quite a while so I just want you to think about one type of person that might shop at a website of your choosing. So essentially I want you to think about a website and then create the demographics section of a “persona” who might shop there.

Below is an example of what I am looking for. The list below has 20 categories but I just want you to create a list of eight. It makes sense to use eight of the 20 listed but you don’t have to confine yourself to the 20 listed if you don’t want to.
