Target Personas & Journey Mapping Workshop
Target Persona & Journey Mapping Workshop
A buyer persona and journey mapping workshop is a collaborative session that brings together stakeholders from various departments, such as marketing, sales, customer service, product development, and design, to create and refine buyer personas and journey maps for their business. The workshop typically involves exercises such as brainstorming, research, interviews, surveys, and analysis, and results in a set of actionable insights and recommendations for improving the customer experience.
What is Journey Mapping?
Journey mapping is a CX tool that provides valuable user insight by gathering information about customer goals and objectives, and by capturing the emotional aspects of user interaction.
The journey map is a visual representation that describes the experience of a user by highlighting various different touchpoints. It helps us understand how a customer interacts with an organization or application.
This knowledge helps the design team identify and prioritize tasks and features that can provide the most value.
Why Journey Mapping?
Journey mapping is:
- Understanding of user needs and decisions from their perspective
- Gain insight into the most commons steps and scenarios your prospects take in becoming a customer
- Investigate pain points deeper
- Map the ideal customer experience to improve conversions
- Develop a informed information architecture a process follow for website development
Goals
The objective of our journey mapping exercise with primary stakeholders is to gain insight into desired processes, features and functionality. Balanced with user input, these insights will help determine gaps in process, content, features and/or functionality needed to convert prospects into customers.
The objective of our journey mapping exercise with users is to gain insight into the mind of your prospects and identify their most common scenarios, processes and tasks when becoming a customer.
This feedback allows the design team to design a solution that reflects the actual user experience rather than rely on a description or perception of tasks and processes.
Following the journey mapping workshops, EWR Digital will deliver a summary report with the findings, flow and tasks to serve as input to our development process.
What is a Target Persona?
A buyer persona, also known as a customer persona or target persona, is a fictional representation of the ideal customer or client that a business wants to target with their products or services. It is a detailed description of the characteristics, needs, preferences, and behaviors of the target audience.
Creating a buyer persona helps businesses to better understand their customers and tailor their marketing and sales strategies to meet their specific needs and preferences. It involves researching and analyzing data on customer demographics, psychographics, buying habits, and pain points.
A buyer persona typically includes information such as the customer’s age, gender, education, occupation, income, location, interests, values, goals, challenges, and objections. The more detailed and accurate the buyer persona is, the more effective the marketing and sales efforts are likely to be in attracting and retaining customers.
Journey Mapping Process
Creating Personas

- Age
- Why and how do they use the service, product or application?
User Journey
We’ve discussed a persona. Now we’ll take that persona and describe their sales journey:
- Starting point
- Ending point
We’ll take through the use of digital post it notes and discuss each step in our user’s journey together.
Then, we’ll discuss the thoughts, things and people involved in the user’s journey.
Finally, we’ll discuss moments that matter, the things we can point to in the user’s journey that need attention or work particularly well.
Then we review the journey map as a group.
- Target Demand – Can filter high volume terms specific to each phase in your customer’s journey
- Benchmark Against the competition – improve the share of voice in the marketplace
- Optimize Content – develop recommendations, to identify the top changes to market the largest impact at each phase
- Measure Impact – leverage page reporting to track the success of your content by phase
