When I picture my prototypical customer, I immediately imagine a college student who spends their weekends drawing and being on the internet. They're probably more meme-savvy than most of their peers and extremely liberal. In their spare time, they like to watch anime, read webcomics and manga, and visit cute cafes (especially ones with boba tea!) Racially diverse as this is an international crowd, with especially strong presence among the Asian-American and Asian communities. Very artsy people who would probably pick Gravity Falls over Riverdale. They are probably well-versed with the [toxic] fan culture of Tumblr that they regrettably spent years of their early teens on, and have written or read fanfiction. Dungeons and Dragons are a familiar topic, though not all have tried it before.
Through this assignment, it's especially evident that I fit right into this demographic. Since I'm also an artist who can be kind of a shut-in compared to most people my age, there is no coincidence here.
It sounds like you are very aware of your potential customer, seeing as you are targeting a market that you fit into. You and your avatar would be best friends I am sure- going to get boba tea and discussing Dungeons and Dragons. I bet your avatar is anxiously waiting for your website to be designed!
ReplyDeleteHey there Haley! Oh gosh, I actually do think I'm in your suggested demographic when it comes to a few of these things--yay! Not all of this applies to me, but I can assure you even people who fit into half your criteria are CERTAIN to at least be exposed to (if not completely knowledgeable) about the other traits, whether they partake in them or not. Even though I'm only half-aligned with what's listed here, I feel like I could get along with these people great!
