    Study Notes

    Customer and Market

    • A customer is a person or group of people who purchase products and services from a business. Without customers, a business fails.
    • A consumer is the end-user of goods or services. They purchase for their own needs, unlike the customer.
    • Customer types include Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, and Laggards. Innovators eagerly seek new products, while Laggards are resistant to change.

    Types of Customers

    • Innovators are eager to buy innovative products.
    • Early Adopters appreciate new innovations and are quick to try them.
    • Early Majority and Late Majority rely on analysis of factors like price, quality, and needs.
    • Laggards are last to adopt innovations and hesitant towards change.

    Consumer Behavior

    • Discriminatory Pricing charges different prices to different customer segments.
    • Psychological Pricing crafts pricing to have a positive impact on customers (e.g., 99 instead of 100).

    Market

    • Market is a group of consumers with a need or desire for a product or service.

    • Geographic segmentation groups based on location, density, or climate.
    • Psychographic segmentation considers aspects like lifestyle, personality, values, opinions, and interests.
    • Behavioral segmentation categorizes by purchase behavior, consumption patterns, usage, and decision-making patterns.

    • Total Addressable Market (TAM): Represents the total market demand for a product/service.
    • Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM): Estimates the portion of TAM a business realistically serves.
    • Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM): Determines the actual market that a business can realistically capture.

    TAMSAMSOM

    • Re-segmented/Niche Market: hybrids between new and existing markets.

    • Competitor analysis helps businesses develop strategic advantages compared to their competitors.
