Who is our customer? and why is it important.

in #business7 years ago

This is a question we should ask ourselves regularly.

In seeking to understand and meet our customers needs we should constantly be analyzing who our customer is.

Some area we should regularly unpack and seek to quantify are:

1.Demographics

  • age
  • gender
  • marital status
  • occupation
  • income level
  • ethnicity
  • etc.
    2.Organizational
  • Public or private sector
  • trade or proffesional
  • wholesale or retail
  • etc.
    3.Geographic
  • location
  • population dencity
  • area generalized attributes
  • etc.
    4.Psychographic
  • personality
  • lifestyle
  • interests
  • attitudes
  • opinions
  • etc.
    5.Behavioural
  • buying preferences
  • brand loyalty
  • benefit peferences
    -etc.

As we constantly seek to understand more about our customers we will be better able to detect and adapt our offering to their changing needs. This will make it more likely that we will remain relevant in a changing environment and will also make it easier to discover new services and products we can offer to our customers. As we understand our customers better we will also be able to produce more accurate messaging, experiences and render more relevant support.

Knowing your customers is not enough, for exemple if i write such a post i will get a 10 c reward, not a $350 reward. It is also important to have good relationships.

relationships, context of sales process, expectations, etc. etc.

Thusly, the organization will profit with more prominent deals and profits.thanks to impart to us @sme about customer,all focuses you have talked about here is awesome,

Nice and in formative post. To follow the above mentioned rules one can achieve the goals and success in the business. Good post and great help for the steemians. Upvoted.

Dear your thinking is fine but we all are here so we are same thanks

Hi, @sme! Thank you for the post. How do you understand who your customer is? Do you hire investigators? Do you gather focus groups? Do you ask friends and families? Do you ask marketing professionals?
Every startuper and every businessman should understand who the customer is. Me personally as a part of startup team just think logically 1) what is the target auditory for my product? 2)taking into account specific advantages of my product specialise who my customer is. But the problem is that it's just my theory. If I fail the project fails also. Are there any opportunities to make sure my theory is accurate?
