Use that information to modify your business to increase its appeal to your target customer.
Know your customers by identifying
- who they are.
- where they are located.
- what they want and why they buy it.
- your competitors and how they operate.
- how big the market for your product or service is.
- how fast that market is growing.
Determine how to reach your customers by knowing
- what your message should be.
- how your product or service will be priced.
- how best to distribute your product or service to make it conveniently available to your target customer.
Your plan should also describe how you will keep your customers satisfied, including
- ongoing customer service.
- your return program.
- warranty or guarantee programs.
