Why is it important?

Growth is crucial as key business objectives. In many categories, acquiring new users are difficult. Motivating current non-heavy users to consume or purchase more is one viable option. Marketers and practitioners can consider the factors and finding from the study to help craft the plan and gauge more realistic growth that could be achieved from non-heavy users.

Perspectives

Sometimes, marketers are more on short-term basis in motivating current users to consume or purchase more. Many times they were more about short term tactical solutions such as price cut or promotion. However, we need to step up the thinking to the Strategic level of Whom we should focus, How many of them are potential, What should trigger them for longer term patronage of the product or brand. These are the key benefits of this study.
