Now, there are multiple definitions of what makes up a business model depending on who you talk to, their level of education/ experience and what they do for a living. http://emagine-‐group.com

You can also have multiple Customer Segments within 1 business model

But you must decide on who your customers are when developing the business model.

The Different Segments of Customers Mass Market
Businesses focused on mass markets don’t distinguish between different Customer Segments – they focus on one large group with broadly similar needs and problems.
Niche Market
Businesses targeting niche markets cater to very specific, specialized Customer Segments. Value Propositions, Distribution Channels and Customer Relationships are all tailored to the specific requirements of the market
Some businesses distinguish between market segments with slightly different needs and problems. The segments have similar but varying Segmented needs and problems which affect Value Proposition, Distribution Channels, Customer Relationships and Revenue Streams.
Diversified
Businesses with diversified customers serve two or more unrelated Customer Segments with very different needs and problems.
Multi-‐sided Businesses that serve two or more independent Customer Segments.

It’s the reason why customers turn to one company over another – because it solves the problem or satisfies the need.
http://emagine-‐group.com

The Value Proposition is an aggregation, or bundle, of benefits that a company offers customers.

Some can be innovative representing a new or disruptive offer.

Others can be similar to existing market offers, with added features and attributes.

What value do we deliver to the customer? Which one of our customer’s problems are we helping to solve? Which customer needs are we satisfying? What bundles of products/services are we offering each Customer Segment? http://emagine-‐group.com
Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Value can be created by simply helping a customer get certain jobs done.

But the value proposition is determined through specific things: Design Brand/Status Price Cost Reduction Accessibility Ease of Use Convenience
