- Helping to improve the development of your value proposition to attract better engagement.
- Guiding the creation of content for each specific group or persona – and making communications more personalised.
- Improving customer loyalty through anticipating customer choices.
- and many other benefits.
Understanding Personas
- Personas in SharpSpring have many uses. Personas can be used for dynamic content in emails and landing pages, and they can be used as list rules for targeted email sends.
- Personas can be used by salespeople to shape the way you communicate with your leads during the sales cycle by segmenting your customers and leads based on interests and behaviour.
- Personas are a combination of information and attributes unique to a specific audience. Every persona is made of a persona card, usage graph, and widgets.
