Importance of Choosing Target Audience​

  • Relevance: By selecting the appropriate target audience, you ensure that the announcement reaches the people who will find it most relevant and impactful.

  • Engagement: Tailoring the message to the right audience helps in maximizing engagement and interest. Different groups may respond differently to the news, so it's important to communicate effectively with each one.

  • Efficiency: Directing the announcement to the relevant audience helps in efficient communication. Instead of broadcasting the message to everyone, you can focus on those who are most likely to benefit from or be interested in the information.
