And as you can tell by the comments, when the rubber meets the road, making that choice is hard.<BR/><BR/>I would always, ALWAYS, error on the side of having more customers.MineThatDatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014200122021988374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202893.post-33481955384179782492007-03-10T08:40:00.000-08:002007-03-10T08:40:00.000-08:00Kevin,Actually if you segment your business right,...Kevin,<BR/>Actually if you segment your business right, you go after all 4. For example, in number 3, have a separate "luxury line" that is for the more affluent. As your younger customers become more affluent themselves it would be a natural progression for them. Too many retailers allow themselves to be tagged as discount, midpriced, upscale, etc. <BR/>As for growing customers and keeping existing ones returning, is natural state of business. Unless your business is Maytag and you have but one or two items someone purchases once every 10 years, then it's common sense to go after customers.<BR/>I think what you are trying to say is with limited budget/resources, what do you go after? Again, perhaps more weight put on any one of the 4 areas, but obviously a smart CEO tries for all 4. <BR/>KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202893.post-58170942435805185072007-03-09T07:57:00.000-08:002007-03-09T07:57:00.000-08:00Hello Ron --- example number five happens all the ...Hello Ron --- example number five happens all the time, I'll write about that one in the near future.<BR/><BR/>You're absolutely allowed to pick combinations, in the real world, things are seldom as cut-and-dried as in this simplistic example.<BR/><BR/>Ok folks, which example, or combination of examples, cause you to think that your business is most healthy?MineThatDatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014200122021988374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32202893.post-880272441012831372007-03-09T05:26:00.000-08:002007-03-09T05:26:00.000-08:00Two questions for you:1) What about an Example #5:...Two questions for you:<BR/><BR/>1) What about an Example #5: Customers shifted their buying behavior from purchasing offline to purchasing online.<BR/><BR/>2) Why do you pose your question as an either/or question?
