Take a look back at how you started your company. Why did you begin? What was your problem and how did it solve?
These answers will allow you to determine who your ideal customers are. This will allow you to learn more about your ideal customers and their motivations for buying from you.
It is also possible to look at the websites and social networks pages of your competitors to get insight into who they cater.
