Picture your ideal customer.

Who do you imagine responding to your offer? A great way to start is by studying your current customers. New customers will likely be similar to the people who currently do business with you.

  • Casually talk to your current customers and get to know as much about them as possible.
  • Conduct a simple survey to learn about customers’ tastes.
  • Pay attention to characteristics such as age and income.
  • Look at your records—sales slips, invoices, delivery information. These tell you who your customers are, what they buy, how often they shop, and how much they spend.
