Your Personas Are Probably Wrong — Here’s How to Fix Them.

If you're in eCommerce or B2C SaaS, you likely have customer segments. But let’s be honest—are they actually driving growth?

Fewer than 1 in 3 marketers trust their personas or ICPs are accurate.

That’s not just a data problem. It’s a growth problem.

🔍 What’s the Difference?

• Audience = everyone you could speak to (current + potential customers)

• Segments = groups based on shared traits

• Personas = real, high-fidelity profiles that guide messaging

• Ideal Customer Personas (ICPs) = your best-fit, revenue-driving customer types

Most teams treat these interchangeably. That’s the problem.

🚩 Why Most Personas Fail

1. Built once, then ignored

2. Based on gut feelings, not actual behavior

3. Static and unconnected to actual marketing campaigns

🔁 What 2025 Personas Look Like
