• 13 min read

Use AudioGo as your audio advertising platform to reach high-purchase-intent audiences through in-market behavior, frequent shopping, household spending, income, and life-stage targeting. Combine digital audio advertising, streaming audio advertising, podcast advertising, and radio advertising with precise geographic and demographic filters to connect with consumers most likely to purchase.

Reaching High Purchase Intent Audiences

When discussing audience targeting with a customer, ask questions that help identify who is most likely to purchase and what behaviors indicate buying intent.

This is called building an Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), or, a clear description of the type of customer most likely to want, buy, use, and stay engaged with your product or service. Discussion points to start building an ICP can include the following questions as starting points, built out to tailor to your specific industry.

Who are your best customers?

What age, income, household, or lifestyle do they have in common?

Who spends the most with your business?

Are they high-income households, big spenders, or frequent shoppers?

Who purchases most often?

Consider repeat customers, loyalty members, or frequent retail shoppers.

Are customers actively looking for your product or service?

Use In-Market audiences to reach people researching or planning a purchase.

Do your customers shop at specific retailers?

Target shoppers who frequently visit stores such as Walmart or other relevant retailers.

Who makes the purchasing decision?

Consider targeting household decision makers.

Do spending habits matter?

Reach audiences based on credit card spending, discretionary spending, dining habits, or overall shopping behavior.

Are there important life events or renewal periods?

For industries like insurance, target consumers whose policies or services are nearing expiration.

Can you narrow your audience further?

Layer behaviors with demographics such as salary range, age, household characteristics, diets, interests, or geography to create a more qualified audience.
