Lessons / Module 2: Audience Research

Understanding customer motivations

2 min read

People rarely buy a product for its own sake. They buy what it does for them. A common way of saying this is that people don't want a drill, they want a hole. You can go further: they probably want the shelf up, and the feeling that the house is finally sorted.

In this lesson

  • Practical, emotional and social motives
  • Ask "why" a few times
  • A caution
  • An exercise to write up, with feedback on your answer
  • Takeaways

The rest is part of Sealis Projects

The full lesson, every lesson's exercise, the six client projects, written feedback and your portfolio come with Sealis Projects: A$29.99 one-off, with no subscription. Studio accounts include it.
