Targeting Light Buyers for Growth

Focusing on light buyers, who purchase infrequently, is essential for driving incremental growth. While it may seem counterintuitive to target less loyal customers, these individuals represent a significant opportunity as they constitute the bulk of sales for many brands. Marketers must utilize broad reach strategies through mass media channels to effectively reach these light buyers, who are not actively seeking the brand. This approach aligns with the law of double jeopardy, which indicates that smaller brands not only have fewer buyers but also face lower loyalty, thus emphasizing the importance of expanding the customer base over enhancing loyalty initiatives.
