After you have created this customer avatar, I'd like you to answer this final set of questions: What do you have in common with the customer avatar?
I have in common fashion and surfing hobbies. I like the bohemian and hipster trends.
If you have anything in common with the avatar, do you think that is a coincidence? Why?
We are both college students that try not to waste time, try to keep clean and do a lot of exercises.

Sebastian,
ReplyDeleteI definitely enjoyed how you described your avatar. I liked how you made your avatar relatable to others. I am also very focused on my schoolwork and rarely watch television during the week. Nice job on the assignment!
Hey Sebastian! You definitely have a clear view on what your typical customer looks like! I can see how most of your customers would be multicultural and the outdoors type, as you are selling comfortable and breathable clothing along with hammocks and things of that nature. You focused a lot on hobbies, but what is it they read? Where do they go most often? Answering questions like these helps you find areas to sell or market your products. Like a beach hut if you plan to sell to surfers/beach bums, or maybe try to start a trend on campuses.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on answering the questions. What I would like to know about the avatar is more about his social circle. At one point it says he is so focused on school that he doesn’t watch TV, but then it seems he has many hobbies. Does he hang out with his team any? Does he hang out with a group of friends at the beach or does he go solo? Dr. Pryor talked a lot about social groups and I think it has a lot of influence on what brands people buy. Knowing more about customer’s social groups can help learn more about your avatar.
