32. How Unic can Help
Use Persona’s to Understand the Customer
I am Ann, 31 years, married, mother with 2 kids
I am married and want to be a good mother for my kids (girl 4 years, boy 6 years) and show this
by dressing and presenting my kids in clothes of the right brand and of good quality.
I have a part-time job and therefore do regularly online shopping. I look for those online shops
that have a good reputation for delivery and that offer a wide range of attractive brands. It is
important to me that the assortment is adapted to me and that information is correct, because
that saves me the hassle of returning the shipment.
I am willing to pay for brands and good quality as long as it is affordable.
