9. Lets imagine you're selling super powers… How will your target audience look like on the curve? http://www.flickr.com/photos/alan-light/230237708/

10. This is your customer at the start of their journey. They might not even know you. They need all the help they can get. They’re sometimes unaware , scared or embarrassed. You need to show them how you’ll make it easier for them and make their lives better.

11. This customer knows a bit about you. They tried you and are wiling to know more. They have a relationship with your brand. They’re experiencing some difficulties you need to solve. They have lots of questions. This is the point where customer service and social networks can help keeping them on the curve.

12. This is where things are getting interesting. Your customers lives are getting better because of your product or service. They are confident and can master some more complicated tasks. This is where a loyalty program should kick in. This is the point they can “bring a friend” or help the Marios and Kittys move up the curve. Don’t let these guys slip away.

13. These customers are power customers. They need a community and a voice. They need someone to speak to and it better be good. They expect things from you. They expect you to treat them right or else… they have the means to be nasty. On the flip side these guys are your most passionate users. They will tell all their friends about you and use other related products in the industry. Congratulations. Your brand is part of their lifestyle now.

14. Like the most powerful superhero, these customers are priceless. Your brand is them. They’re hooked on you and will love you forever. They are your best advocates and their WOM is what you work for.

15. Super user Power user Skilled Beginner Novice There isn't one “target audience”. Every customer is on a different level and needs a different kind of communication.

16. Super users: Your most powerful group Your “super customers” will group around your brand. They are your ambassadors and your brand is part of who they are. Bring them close and never let go. These guys lead the way and set the inspiration for the rest of the curve.
