Define Your Target Audience
With the vast number of targeting options, it’s easy to define who you want to reach.
Demographics
- choose the age, gender, parental status, or household income of your primary audience
- You can also reach users based on additional traits such as college students, homeowners, or new parents.
Interests
- Affinity Segments: reach those who already have a strong interest in topics related to your business.
- Custom Affinity: you can target specific audiences tailored to your products or services. For example, a running shoe company can broadly target “Sports Fans”, but can also reach a more specific audience of “Avid Marathon Runners.”
- In-Market: find customers who are researching products like yours. For example, an auto repair shop can target those in-market for auto parts & accessories, and narrow further to particulars such as car batteries or wheels/tires.
- Custom Segments: ads are served to viewers based on the keywords or topics they’ve recently searched for on Google or YouTube.
YouTube can be an incredibly effective way to reach your audience – whether broad or specific. The size and audience scope hold a lot of potential for businesses to showcase products and services in an engaging format.
