This document discusses the process of creating personas to represent different types of customers. It involves brainstorming all possible customer needs, identifying needs common to all customers versus those that differ, and using a sliding scale to show how needs vary. Potential personas are then developed based on combinations of needs. The goals of creating personas are to better understand customer needs, attract customers with relevant content and messaging, and improve the customer experience.
