But I am sure it is a useful exercise to analyze our audience, and to modify our products to suit that audience. Famous last words! Now I need to act on them.Judy Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405861781735927423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057824796799379825.post-57057870362887495912011-12-06T06:44:45.430-06:002011-12-06T06:44:45.430-06:00I think we often end up selling and marketing to p...I think we often end up selling and marketing to people of similar demographics to ourselves, that's how it's worked out for me anyways.

I think because I love so many things myself and love to do many things!! I do know that I am practical, and my practical gift items sell well. I think I need to do the exercise you mentioned about things to ask myself! It will help. Thanks!Linda E.
