How to create a buyer persona on budget?


The best place to start is in the channel you have biggest reach; (for example: Facebook, Mail, webside). First you want to get the basics in place (demographics), and you want a lot of answers to have much data to work with. I personally make a questionnaire with about 15 questions (to get more engagement you can always throw in a prize). The goal of this exercise is to understand who your customers are:

  • Gender
  • Age
  • Occupation
  • Interests/hobbies
  • Which social medias are most popular?
  • Social status
  • Are they influencers on a given subject in their family/friend-circle

When you have all data gathered you create the average customer. Give him a name, a face.

After you have these basics in place - it's all about your creativity to get to know your buyer persona even better; use focus groups/trade-shows/competitions to get more info on:


  • Buying process
  • Decision making
  • Favourite brands/shows/channels/celebrities
  • Who are their influencers?
  • What type of content do they want to see more from you?
