The document discusses interviews conducted with potential customers - Ray Sharma who owns a wine business, Kavita Jain who owns an online jewelry store, and Gagan Singh who works in real estate. The interviews explored how their businesses currently use digital marketing, positioning of products/services, pricing, customer feedback collection, partnerships, and metrics for measuring performance. An empathy map was then created synthesizing customers' points of view - their needs, goals, concerns around budget and indecision around digital marketing. The target personas were identified as small business owners seeking increased awareness, revenue and leads through addressing barriers like budget and long term planning.
