Audience Modeling is the process of analyzing an existing customer, donor, member, subscriber, or prospect database to identify the common characteristics that define your best customers.

Once those characteristics are identified, AmeriList develops a model that can be used to locate additional prospects who closely resemble your existing audience.

Audience modeling helps answer questions such as:

• Who are our best customers?
• What characteristics do they share?
• Where can we find more people like them?
• Which audiences are most likely to respond?
• How can we improve customer acquisition performance?

By understanding what drives success within your existing customer base, businesses can make smarter marketing decisions and improve campaign performance.

Many organizations spend valuable marketing dollars targeting broad audiences with little understanding of who is most likely to respond.

Audience modeling helps reduce wasted marketing spend by focusing efforts on audiences that are statistically more likely to resemble your existing customers.

Benefits include:

• Improved Customer Acquisition
• Better Lead Quality
• Increased Marketing Efficiency
• Higher Response Rates
• More Qualified Prospects
• Improved Return On Investment
• Reduced Audience Waste
• Stronger Campaign Performance

Rather than marketing to everyone, audience modeling helps you focus on the people most likely to become customers.

• Customer AcquisitionIdentify prospects who share characteristics with your current customers.
• Donor AcquisitionHelp nonprofit organizations find individuals who resemble existing donors and supporters.

For consumer marketers, audience models may incorporate factors such as:

• Age
• Gender
• Household Income
• Homeownership
• Property Value
• Presence Of Children
• Length Of Residence
• Lifestyle Interests
• Purchasing Behaviors
• Geographic Concentrations

These insights help create highly targeted consumer prospect audiences.

For B2B organizations, audience modeling can analyze:

• Industry Classification
• SIC Codes
• NAICS Codes
• Company Size

• Decision Maker Titles
• Geographic Markets

This helps identify businesses that closely resemble your current customer base.
