One of the worst things we can do as marketers is to send the wrong messaging to the wrong customers at the wrong time. The whole idea behind market segmentation is to avoid that type of career- and business-killing scenario. And at the heart of the segmentation process are buyer personas—customer profiles that are based on common needs and buying habits. Why are personas so important? Because if you don't know those needs and habits, you won't have a business for long—and, yes, you can't market to the right people. But building personas isn't easy. The Semrush Persona tool, however, can help you quickly turn what you know about your customers into personas that can be shared and used across the entire organization. The best part? The tool is absolutely free to use—with no limits. Try it today.
