Stop guessing who buys your stuff (use this)

+ Get inside your customer’s mind—Before you write a word

Together with

Good morning, Prompt enthusiast. It's your Prompt Architect here, with a blueprint that'll transform your target market research game!

Back when I launched my first product, I assumed “everyone” was my audience. Turns out, everyone wasn’t buying. I was laying bricks with no blueprint—throwing money at ads that never stuck. That changed the moment I started using this market analysis prompt. It’s now my go-to scaffolding before any campaign, product launch, or rebrand.

Whether you're launching a SaaS tool, an Etsy store, or a newsletter, this prompt gives you X-ray vision into who really wants what you’re selling.

Today's we'll covers:

  • How to identify and profile your ideal customer

  • Why amateur marketers guess while pros use structured analysis

  • A powerful framework to guide data-backed audience targeting

❗ THE COMMON PROBLEM

You think you know your customer—but assumptions are expensive.
You write ads that don’t click, build features no one uses, and speak in a voice your buyers don’t understand.

It’s like trying to design a custom home without knowing who’s going to live in it. You’re guessing the room sizes, decor, and even the number of bedrooms.

This prompt turns guesswork into groundwork.

#RESPONSE GUIDELINES:
Please focus specifically on the business, product, or service described above.

Provide relevant and actionable insights that can help guide marketing and product development
decisions.

To understand the needs, wants, and behaviors of the target audience, consider the following:

1. Analyze customer feedback and reviews: Examine customer feedback from various sources, such as
product reviews, customer service interactions, and social media comments. Look for common themes
and insights into what customers value, what they dislike, and what they expect from the company's
offerings.
2. Conduct surveys and focus groups: Engage directly with members of the target audience through
surveys and focus groups. Ask questions that probe their preferences, attitudes, and behaviors
related to the company's products or services. Use this qualitative data to supplement the
quantitative data gathered through other methods.
3. Monitor social media and online discussions: Keep track of relevant social media conversations
and online forums where the target audience is active. Observe the topics they discuss, the language
they use, and the sentiment they express toward various brands and products. This can provide
valuable insights into their needs and wants.

#OUTPUT:
- Identify common characteristics among existing customers
- Research the broader market to identify potential target segments
- Create detailed customer personas based on data collected
- Analyze customer feedback and reviews for insights
- Conduct surveys and focus groups to gather qualitative data
- Monitor social media and online discussions to understand target audience needs and wants

#IMPORTANT NOTE:
In summary, target market analysis is essential for understanding the demographics, needs, wants,
and behaviors of a company's ideal customers. By analyzing existing customer data, conducting market
research, creating customer personas, gathering feedback, and monitoring online discussions,
companies can gain valuable insights into their target audience. This information should be used to
inform marketing strategies, product development, and customer service practices to better serve the
target market and drive business growth. 

Remember, target market analysis is an ongoing process that
requires regular updates to stay relevant in an ever-changing market landscape.
