Customer Archetypes
Customer Archetypes • Helps visualize who will buy or use the product &
crystalize product strategy, customer acquisition,
etc.
• Identify many hypotheses about the buyer’s
demographic and psychographic profile
Is the buyer affluent, fashion-conscious, healthy and active?
Married with pets and toddlers or
teens?
In a house, an apartment, or a
trailer park?
Why Archetypes Matter Archetype Highlights Customer Acquisition Guidance
Two working professionals Don’t advertise/promote during the workday, inefficient
Buy fresh gourmet produce Reach bloggers, co-promote with gourmet food sites
Drive luxury cars Consider co-promotion offers from high-end auto sites
Frequent business travelers Send press releases to travel websites, bloggers
Cooks only on weekends Don’t run AdWords during the week to save dollars, send email blasts, Tweets, texts Thurs/Fri
Entertain friends at home often
Co-promote with home, entertainment sites, blogs
UNDERSTANDING “A DAY IN THE LIFE”
How much time do your customers spend online in a
typical 24-hour day?
Is it at their desk, on a laptop, or on a handheld while
driving?
What’s the source of the “newfound”
time they’ll spend on your new site or
using your new app?
Will they sleep less? Will they spend less time on Facebook or
eBay?
Will they spend less time goofing off at work to spend time
at the new site?
Your success depends on becoming a regular part of the customer’s day:
