Demographic Marketing Video Tutorial

1. Why Is Demographic Marketing Vitally Important

Demographic MarketingDemographic marketing gets the most out of ad spending and your cross channel marketing budget and makes sure you’re working with the right clientele.

​Demographic marketing is categorizing the broad audience of people in the world down to specific facts about them. Not assumptions or opinions, just simple truths.

Like where do you live, age, married or not married, level of education, etc. We do this to understand differences. The worst is assuming everyone is the same or everyone is just like you.

2. How Demographic Marketing Strikes Gold

Demographic MarketingThe best way to see how it works is to give you an actual example. In one of my businesses people who are 65 and older were converting at $9.50 earnings per lead.

People 25 to 45 years old were only converting at $2.75 earnings per lead. I’ll take the 65 and older earnings over the 45 and younger earnings any day of the week.

We still invested into the younger audience, we just invested less, and invested more into the older audience. This is demographic marketing!

Don’t Get Married To Your Preconceptions

If you have a specific budget you want to put it into the highest ROI demographics. Not only that, putting it in the right place leads to higher positive reviews and more testimonials.

Remember, you are trying to have the right conversations and exchanges with the right people. .

I love making YouTube videos and I like watching them too. Now, here’s a classic mistake I see. Marketing directors plaster ads all over channels and they waste a ton of money. They don’t even stop once to consider demographics. 

Why Am I Seeing This?

For instance, I’m a man, and I’ll sometimes see advertising for female sweaters or even bras. What a waste of money and time. It also makes me question those businesses. Why are they skipping this step? 

I should not be seeing this content, unless of course I have a history of searching these items (which of course I don’t!). It’s so easy to turn this stuff off and target effectively inside our ad platforms.

8 Demographic Marketing Segmentation Examples

To get you started on demographic marketing, I’m going to give you some audience types you can start to segment and organize with.

  1. Married
  2. Sex
  3. Country
  4. State
  5. City
  6. Children
  7. Political Affiliation
  8. Income Level

Sometimes you can see clear patterns with each of these. And sometimes you have to combine a few of them to see clear trends. But, the big picture is to start looking!

If you see that women who live in Alabama convert 10x higher than men who live in Idaho that’s a huge discovery. And then obviously you want to double down on those women in Alabama!
