Create a Customer Avatar

My prototypical customer is a UF undergraduate female who is a sophomore. She is from Hoboken, New Jersey and is studying Computer Science minoring in Graphic Design. She likes to spend time with friends and family, listen to music and shop. She loves watching Netflix and Hulu. she especially loves Marvel movies. Since she is an engineering major, she spends a lot of time at the library studying alone or in groups and doing homework. She is also involved in extracurriculars. She is a member of the annual fashion show, Fashion Xclusive. She is a model and on the executive board. She does not have a car because her parents do not think she needs one while she's at college. She loves reading comedy-drama books and young adult romance novels. She just turned 20 years old, however, she feels like she is 30. This is because since she stays up so late studying, she does not get enough sleep at night.
She lives at University House off campus and loves her apartment complex. Because she is a female she realizes that there are some dangers of walking home alone at night, so she takes as many precautions as she can. She walks with her keys in her hand in case someone tries to attack her and her facetime her mother as she is walking. She also makes sure to continuously look around her to make sure she is not being followed. She ends up walking home at night basically every day, however with the longer days, she feels she has more time to walk home since the sun sets later.

I do have a lot in common with the prototypical customer. We share the same interest and hobbies, however, I am a junior and am a business student. We both do not have cars and end up leaving home late due to studying and homework. We both also live off campus and have to walk home alone at night. I do not think it is a coincidence that we have things in common because my business idea came from my personal experience and how to fix that. Therefore, the prototypical customers and I would share similarities because if I was not the creator of the idea, I would also be a prototypical customer.

  1. Hi Agatha,

    I loved how creative you got with this assignment! You really dug deep and went in depth with your customer avatar! I can definitely relate to you and your customer avatar. I stay up late studying and live off campus as well. It is definitely a struggle when the bus system I use stops running at seven. Sometimes, this does force me to just stay in my room and study.

  2. Agatha, I like how specific you got when creating your avatar for your product! you even went into far definition when describing their year in school, and their majors at the college level. I would still try to be open to all individuals in society as well because we can never know where our customers are coming from.

  3. Hello Agatha,
    You did a good job explaining your avatar and giving her a personality. By reading this I got a good idea of the type of person she is. I like how you included her hobbies, movies, interests. Major, where she lives and her age! Its cool that you have a lot in common with your prototypical customer, I also shared similar qualities with mine.
