Every brand knows they need to reach their target audience. Not every brand is willing to ask the right questions to figure out how to do that. Two of the most overlooked customer bases are right under our noses: liberal and conservative.
Whether it's fear of offending people or unwillingness to see things differently, not asking the questions to find out someone's world view only creates headwinds. When you better understand your consumer, you can actually find a better way to engage them. Chris Peterson, Author of Red & Blue Customers, joins us on today's episode of The Longer Game to discuss how to leverage world view data in everything from marketing to product development.
This isn't a political thing but we certainly have a tendency to make it seem that way. In a world where every headline is unnecessarily polarizing, Chris helps us understand that we're all human and if you can put aside being judgmental of one another, you may just get to know those humans better. Let's face it, marketing is hard.
And the right information can create tailwinds for our brands. So why wouldn't you want to do everything in your power to create more tailwinds? Grab a slice of humble pie and listen to us talk about how 67% of marketers are liberal, while 68% of sales people are conservative.
