Ever wonder why some brands just ‘get you’ while others miss the mark? It’s because most skip over a crucial piece of the puzzle when profiling their customers. Sure, age and location matter, but they’re overlooking the golden question: Does your customer shop with their head or their heart?
Here’s a little secret sauce on using this insight to not just catch but captivate your audience – with a dash of beauty, a sprinkle of spirits, and a hint of romance.
The Shopper Spectrum
After a decade of diving deep into customer psyches across various sectors, I’ve spotted two distinct shopper breeds: the Head Shoppers, who dissect every detail, and the Heart Shoppers, driven by emotion and stories. Pinning down which camp your customer falls into? That’s your brand’s golden ticket.
Both shopper types kick off their journey with a specific need in mind:
- Tech Triumph: She’s in search of the latest noise-cancelling headphones to enhance her focus and productivity.
- Gadget Quest: She’s on the lookout for a smartwatch that not only tracks her fitness but seamlessly integrates with her lifestyle.
- Connectivity Crusade: Venturing into the realm of smart home devices, she’s eager to find solutions that promise convenience and control, transforming her living space into a tech-savvy haven.
From there, it’s either logic or love leading the charge.
Logic’s Loyalists: When the Head Leads
The Head Shopper is all about the facts. She’s asking:
- “Will this work for me?”
- “Is this the best option out there?”
She craves the nitty-gritty of how things tick.
- Beauty Buffs want before-and-afters and ingredient breakdowns.
- Wine Connoisseurs quiz the vineyard’s credibility.
- Dating Site Divers delve into the site’s matching mechanics.
For the Head Shopper, clarity and credibility are key. It’s less about flash and more about substance.

- “Does this brand stir something in me?”
- “Does this fit the life I dream of?”
She’s all in for the narrative, the vibe, the feels.
- Beauty Seekers are sold on the dream of a product like “Marshmallow Cloud.”
- Wine Lovers are transported to summers in Santorini with just a glance at the label.
- Romantic Rebels are drawn to apps that promise ease and excitement in love.
