You probably don't have just one typical customer, but several. You must be able to close your eyes and picture every detail, every need and desire of each of them. It may help if you give them each a name, that makes building their identity much easier. Conduct surveys to discover what you don't know. How do our customers perceive our product? How do they perceive our company? What do they like/dislike about our company and product? How old are they, where do they live, how well educated are they? What are their hobbies and interests? What do they read, watch, or do? What things are important to them? What would get them to repurchase your product or service? How important is price/image to them? What do they all have in common? What is different between them? How do they see themselves? What do they think of our competition and why? Do they understand our product, or do they need to be educated about it? Do we have a customer computer database that we can use to track activity? (-- F3 to save and exit --) ----------------------------------
