August 15, 2014 at 6:26 am (10 years ago)This is great! So insightful. I start putting this into practice tomorrow at my market table! Any thoughts on targeting 2 different – almost opposite – customers? A big product of mine is richly colored crocheted jewelry. It appeals to stylish women who love the uniqueness, color, & light-weight. But… It is also regularly purchased by arthritic women and women who have other physical issues that make heavier jewelry uncomfortable. The advice in this podcast is great because I see how I can reach out to the 2 distinct populations with different selling points in the other places where they are but I am also wondering if there is a way to address the needs of each buyer type live at my table without associating my product with a trait that is undesirable to the other type. Has anyone else had this dilemma? Any great catch phrases or approaches to suggest?
