3. All customers are not created equal
• Use the 80/20 rule. 20% of your customers generate 80% of your profits.
• At HoneyBaked, we use the 60/40 rule. 40% of our customers generate 60% of our profits.
• Average customer visits 2.3 times a year for a ham purchase. Must speak to all segments– New (never shopped w/ us)– Core (2 plus times)– Best (more than 2 times a year)
