In this discussion, we delve into the critical aspects of customer segments, exploring their impact on market strategies and product development. Key topics include identifying customer archetypes, understanding market types (existing, resegmented, niche, and new), and determining the implications of these segments on adoption rates and marketing strategies. We will outline methodologies for testing customer interest, brainstorming key behaviors, and consolidating insights to create a robust value proposition. Join us as we identify assumptions and refine our approach to meet customer needs effectively.
