Deep dives

Listen to Your Hardcore Diehard Customers

Lego's struggle with declining revenue led them to initially follow consultants' advice to simplify their Lego sets, which backfired and worsened their financial situation. After firing their consultants, Lego decided to consult their top 4% of buyers to understand what customers truly wanted. Surprisingly, the hardcore fans desired complex and challenging Lego sets rather than easier ones. Lego took a risk by releasing the intricate Millennium Falcon set, which significantly boosted their sales by focusing on their dedicated customer base.
