The business model canvas is a tool that provides details for a startup. The right-hand side focuses on the customer and explains customer segments, customer relationships, and channels. When it comes to customers, you must first identify who you are targeting. Will you be a part of the niche market for gemstone jewellery or sterling silver jewellery? Define your ideal customer. Create a profile with characteristics like their gender, age, occupation and financial situation.
Look into the types of relationships these customers expect. Will they anticipate constant attention with personal assistance after purchase? How will you grow your relationships? Various transactions lead to different expectations. For instance, if customers spend more on a product, they will expect a longer relationship or additional services, like warranties and jewellery cleaning, once the sale is completed. These customers focus on emotional connection and brand loyalty. Lower priced products are typically a one and done deal, with the customer’s only emphasis on price. Not all customers are looking to develop strong relationships, and that is okay as long as you, make them feel valued and provide excellent service.
