What kind of hobbies does your customer have?
-My customer enjoys finding a TV show and/or movie their child will watch and hopefully sit down quietly for a few minutes. When they find spare time they also enjoy riding bikes with the kids to be active but still have not lost the baby weight (the husband included). When mom gets a free second she goes to yoga and the husband drinks a craft beer.
What kind of car do they tend to drive? (What color is it?)
-They drive a silver 2016 Honda Odyssey that is slightly faded on the outside and needs to be vacuumed but in overall good shape. It has built in DVD players.
What TV shows do they watch? Do they have children? Are any of them adopted?
-They watch anything on Nickelodeon, Disney and PBS but also sneak in some Home related shows as well. They obviously have kids and always have their hands full.
What are their favorite books, and who are their favorite politicians? How old are they? How old do they feel?
-They don't remember what books are because they're too busy with the kids to read. They are in their late 20's or early 30's. They are confused on the politician stance because they grew up watching Trump on TV and think this is all going to be a big episode of "Punk'd."
What do you have in common with the customer avatar?
-Besides the fact that they have human children instead of animal children, I think I actually have quite a bit in common with them. We have three dogs and 4 cats and between them, work and school I am constantly worrying about someone else and always busy. I find I often do not have time to enjoy the things I used to.
If you have anything in common with the avatar, do you think that is a coincidence? Why?
-I don't think it's a coincidence, the idea stemmed from my brain so I think it makes perfect sense that myself and my customer have quite a bit in common. I will need to learn to think outside of my own needs if I want to be an entrepreneur!
I agree with the last point where you said, it isn't a coincidence that you have a-lot in common. In my blog post, I also touched on this point since I think the originator of a solution to the problem should also have the problem. Even though you might not share everything with you're client avatar, I believe you should be able to vaguely assimilate yourself to them
ReplyDeleteI like how in detail you got with your descriptions. It really helped paint the picture of what your type of customer is! I also think it is really cool how you can draw things that you have in common with your customer. As Entrepreneurs we do things we are passionate about and you can clearly see that!
ReplyDeleteI thought your description could have described a majority of the stereotypical families seen on TV shows, perhaps even add in a white picket fence and some bikes laying in the front driveway. Not that the description was bad, I enjoyed pictured the described group and I can see them as your customers. In addition to that, the difference between young children and mature animals isn't really that big in terms of duties (feed, love, occasionally take to the doctor, watch out for small and easily swallowed objects, etc.), so you may be closer to your described customer than you think.
