Persona-Based Strategy

Updated over 2 months ago

Priortization

Identify Top Personas:

  1. Revenue - Which generates most sales?

  2. Lifetime Value - Which has highest LTV?

  3. ROAS - Which returns most on ad spend?

  4. Volume - Which is largest segment?

  5. Growth - Which is expanding fastest?

80/20 Rule:

  • Often 20% of personas drive 80% of revenue

  • Focus creative and budget on top performers

  • Test and learn with smaller segments

Messaging Framework

For Each Persona, Define:

  1. Primary pain point - What keeps them up at night?

  2. Core benefit - What solution do they need most?

  3. Proof points - What convinces them?

  4. Objections - What holds them back?

  5. Call to action - What action matches their stage?

Example Messaging Matrix:

| Persona | Pain Point | Benefit | Proof | CTA | |---------|-----------|---------|-------|-----| | Budget Mom | Limited money | Save on family essentials | "30% cheaper than retail" | "Start Saving" | | Premium Buyer | Wants best quality | Superior performance | "Award-winning formula" | "Shop Premium" | | Eco Warrior | Environmental guilt | Sustainable choice | "100% recyclable" | "Go Green" |

Testing Strategy

Persona-Based Testing:

  1. Start with one persona per campaign

  2. Create 5-10 ad variations for that persona

  3. Test messaging angles

  4. Identify winning concept

  5. Scale winner

  6. Move to next persona

Cross-Persona Testing:

  • Same product, different messaging per persona

  • Compare performance

  • Learn which personas respond to which angles

  • Build persona playbook
