For instance, a large nonprofit focused on preserving arts and culture might segment its audience by location and focus its stories on the most well-known museums or cultural landmarks in a donor’s state. However, using a donor’s geographic location in your segmentation strategy can open exciting new possibilities.

Imagine if you didn’t need an expensive camera, artistic mastery, or a ton of time to create what was in your mind’s eye. Note the clear language to identify the object, the action, the background or context, and then most importantly the artistic style that the output should create. A picture is worth a thousand words.
