The contest was what would our ideal customer be like.
I ran that through my mind through the week, but couldn't formulate in my mind exactly what he or she would be like, until today. It's too late to enter, but this is what my "Ideal Customer" would be like.
This is what we were asked to answer.
? What is your ideal customer's favorite movie?
? List two (2) of your ideal customer's hobbies.
? What is one (1) need of your ideal customer?
? Briefly describe how your products meet that need.
My Ideal Customer
My ideal customer's movie would be comedies, because she loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor.
Her favorite movie though, is Gone With The Wind, because of the era it was made, the history behind it, all the gorgeous gowns and jewelry, and the rich heritage that she shares with the South.
One of her favorite things to do would be shopping in my store of course.
She loves nature and anything different and unusual.
She likes gardening and flowers are her passion. Since she enjoys handmade items she really loves my pencil shaving flowers. She actually mixes a few of my flowers with flowers of her choice in a vase to add variety

She searches for hand blown vases, and any vases that are unusual. She has ordered a few of my vases, and has been sending her friends to my shop who admires the one's I sold her.

Another of her favorite item to order is jewelry. She enjoys various jewelry that is unusual and handmade, and some that has crystals, natural gems, and semi precious stones, not just diamonds. She sometimes buys jewelry with a Native American theme made with leather products.

One of her hobbies is hunting rocks with natural gemstones and minerals that shine.

She also collects dolls and is always checking to see what I have to add to her collection.

And, since coca cola is her favorite soft drink she collects coca cola items. You could say she is a "Cola Fan"

Oh, did I add she LOVES hats!

She visits my shop for my flowers, jewelry, hats, and vases, because some of my hats have vintage gemstones hand embellished on them. My jewelry is unique in it's own way, and, she knows she won't find flowers like mine anywhere else..
In fact "My Ideal Customer" kind of sounds like ME...
So sorry you didn't get a chance to enter in time. But you made a very goof profile of your ideal customer. Does she like cats as well?
ReplyDeletelol -just wondering since im a cat lady! HAHA
She is a animal lover of all kinds.. Except spiders and snakes!
ReplyDeleteI'm still exploring some characteristics of my dream client. It's good to have tons of details, and speak to her when you're marketing.
ReplyDeleteFiguring out who your core client is can help focus your business - even though the process is challenging!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading this and your items to illustrate are perfect. One thing I would add to my ideal customer profile would be that she would always leave feedback!
ReplyDeleteLovely, I am still exploring it!:)
ReplyDeleteYour ideal customer sounds amazing! Great profiling! What a fun exercise to help focus your shop's marketing to reach your target audience.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! Great job, Gina!
ReplyDeleteWell done. I agree with Nancy about the ideal customer leaving feedback. I get a lot of good feedback through the convo system but most times the new customers don't realize we have a feedback system set up through Etsy.
ReplyDeleteagreed
DeleteThanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love your ideal customer!
ReplyDeleteDoes she like dogs too?
Eva, she LOVES dogs! She has one of he own :)
ReplyDeleteI thought "she" was you! I hope you find your doppelganger!
ReplyDeleteWishing you wonderful sales success!
