STEP 3: ANALYZE AND SEGMENT
AUDIENCES
Audience analysis involves developing a solid understanding of intended
audiences to create a relevant and effective communication plan. This
requires gathering, interpreting and applying demographic, behavioral and
psychographic information about target audiences. Audience analysis helps
to:
• segment an audience into smaller 'chunks';
• develop priority segments;
• select the objectives most appropriate for an audience;
• select the best channels and vehicles to reach an audience;
• develop messages that are relevant to an audience; and
• easily plan and evaluate your health communication plan.
