Tapping into Your Superconsumer
While so many companies nowadays are being caught up in a newer movement to appease and please everyone, their super power is being forgotten—the Superconsumer.
Superconsumers are people who are not only heavy users of the brand, but who also feel passionately about the brand. They are the consumers willing to spend more on your products, try new products, and provide you with insights only they may see from dedicated, real-life use. These consumers are at the foundations of great brands and their longevity, making up 30% to 70% of a brand’s sales even though they only take up 10% of total customer base.
Tapping into your Superconsumer is essential for great innovation. Getting to know and carefully building a relationship with these consumers is a significant part of building a business that leaves its mark on history and outlasts the rest of the competition.
In this talk, Michelle will help you identify the superconsumers you already have, as well as guide you to building a larger superconsumer base by listening to and engaging with these passionate consumers. With case studies from organizations who focused on their superconsumer with great success and higher profits, Michelle will dive into the data and findings of superconsumers of brands across various industries.
*This content is based on / inspired by Michelle’s work with Eddie Yoon, bestselling author of: Superconsumers: A Simple, Speedy, and Sustainable Path to Superior Growth.
