W5 - Customer Segments

In Week 5 of our journey, we focused on identifying our top customer segments and developing value propositions for each segment.

Our research uncovered three vital customer segments for our rental marketplace: landlords, students, and regular renters. Landlords, the decision-makers for property listings, will utilize the platform as end-users to manage their rentals. Students, the driving force behind this marketplace idea, take on a triple role: searching and booking rentals as end-users, choosing their ideal properties as decision-makers, and handling payments as payers. Recognizing the broader potential, we've included regular renters who, similar to students, act as end-users, decision-makers in selecting their rentals, and payers managing their transactions. While all segments are important, we've established a primary focus on the student persona. By developing a detailed buyer profile (VPC) for students, we can gain a deeper understanding of their specific needs, behaviors, and decision-making process.
