With a clearly defined target audience, it is much easier to determine where and how to market your company. Here are some tips to help define your target market.

1

LOOK AT YOUR CURRENT CUSTOMER BASE

Who are your current customers, and why do they buy from you? Look for common characteristics and interests. Which ones bring in the most business?

It is very likely that other people like them could also benefit from your product/service. Gather whatever information you have about your existing customers into a database you can use to track trends and averages.

Some data points you might want to consider are: • AGE: You don’t need to get too specific here.

// GIVEN THE CURRENT STATE OF THE ECONOMY, HAVING A WELLDEFINED TARGET MARKET IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER //

• LOCATION: Where do your existing customers live? In addition to understanding which geographic areas to target, this helps you figure out what hours are most important for your customer service and sales reps to be online, and when you should schedule your social ads and posts to ensure best visibility • LANGUAGE: Don’t assume your customers speak the same language you do. And don’t assume they speak the dominant language of their (or your) current physical location • SPENDING POWER AND PATTERNS: How much money do your current customers have to spend?

How do they approach purchases in your price category? Do they have specific financial concerns or preferences you need to address? What day is payday for your customers ie government workers, pensioners, SASSA beneficiaries and business personnel may get paid at different

The hearScreen app is a social initiative that is highly commended. “Translating audio-specialised education into a convenient and short screening test decentralises the model by enabling community members, educators and family to assist with this testing process,” adds Dawood.

According to the hearX Annual Impact Report for 2018-2019, the global reach of hearing screenings now encompasses 38 countries. In South Africa, there are three active projects in Tembisa, Tshwane and Cape Town (Khayelitsha & Mitchell’s Plain), reaching 18 437 people with a 59.3% increase compared to the previous year.

specific need.

Our Superflex range includes two products specially manufactured to complete these specialised tasks.

With the Cut Grind disc, both cutting and angle grinding of steel and stainless steel is made possible- perfect for renovating your palisade fencing or any other home project that requires both these applications.

In the past, alternative methods were used to cut circles in sheet metal and attempts with an angle grinder would prove rather challenging and frustrating. With product innovation Grinding Techniques have designed the first thin Type 28 wheel -the Superflex Curve Cut disc- suited to cut many radii.

Manufactured to ISO 9001 and constructed in accordance with European Safety standards, the Curve cut is the ideal disc for cutting circles from stainless steel and carbon steel.

Both discs are available in both 115 - and - 125mm diameter and operate at a maximum speed of 80m/s.

The Superflex Cut Grind and Curve Cut Discs are available at selected retailers.
