Study Notes
Customer Analysis
- Customer analysis encompasses current customers, competitors' customers, non-customers, and potential customers.
- A product manager considers customer analysis from various perspectives, including product innovation, market leadership, and category expansion.
- Consumers and customers are not always distinct; direct-to-consumer models blur the lines between the two.
- Product managers need to understand who buys and uses a product, where and when customers buy, why they prefer a product, and how they respond to marketing programs.
- Data analysis and technology enable product managers to understand customers on an individual level.
- The shopping experience, product assortment, and how customers use a product are crucial factors to consider.
- Customer preferences shift, leading to changes in shopping channels (online vs. offline).
- Value is a multi-faceted concept for customers.
- Customer purchase decisions can be influenced by emotional, holistic, automatic, or spontaneous responses.
- Customer value is central to why they prefer a product.
- Customer response to marketing programs is crucial.
- Marketing programs are analyzed by monitoring customer response, through methods like surveys, expert judgment, and data analysis.
- Customer satisfaction relies on three key aspects: expectations of performance, quality, and the gap between expectations and performance.
- While satisfaction is difficult to measure objectively, it is crucial for product managers to monitor and understand.
- Customers' intentions to repurchase a product are not always precise predictors of future purchases but offer early indicators of future sales.
