How often should you audit and update your buyer personas?
Buyer personas can be created through research, surveys, and interviews — all with a mix of customers, prospects, and those outside your contacts database who might align with your target audience.
But like all data, even information you gather on your audience (your personas) can go out of date. After all, business models change, companies merge or shift direction, and your audience can (and likely will) evolve. In your professional opinion, how often should you audit and even update your buyer personas?

For my business, I think keeping a pulse on buyer personas quarterly and then determining them annually has been a trend we've had without knowing it. The reason being is that we have an outbound sales team and because of that they call nationwide and get a pulse on what people are talkin about consistently and who they are selling to.
How often should you audit and update your buyer personas?
I would say it would depend on the nature of the business. If your target audience's preferences and behaviors are evolving rapidly, it becomes important to reassess your buyer personas more frequently, like once a month. Although there isn't a set period of time that is universally applicable, it is generally advised to conduct audits and updates at least annually. However, the frequency may vary depending on the specific circumstances.

Obviously the industry you are in may dictate otherwise, but but I think personas ideally would be assessed/audited at year-end or the end of a campaign, when there is sufficient information to really drill into a persona's effectiveness.

There should be marketing / sales reports conducted periodically, and with this analysis we can determine customer behavior, feedback from customers and marketing team. if sales go down we need to change buyer persona. this audit also becomes necessary when your business expands or you launch a new product/service.

The process of auditing persona's should be done once a month or every 3 months depending on your business model. Many organizations have fast tracked promotions and lay offs which makes it crucial to know not only the persona but also the contact you're marketing too. This helps reduce wasted efforts on contacts/persona's that no longer exist within the organization you're marketing your products too.

It depends on the company. If one company's campaign cycles target personas that are dramatically different from one another, it might be wise to review them before starting to work on the strategy for the next campaign. If the products/services remain relatively the same throughout the year, I wouldn't spend a lot of energy reviewing personas frequently - maybe once a year. Any time a major event impacts culture, however, we should review our personas and strategies - think about the pandemic, for instance. It shifted the consumption habits of every buying persona out there.
