Assignment

Analyze the company you are studying in the Home Improvement industry (Menards). Who is the buyer/consumer for this company? Create a buyer persona and be very specific. Explain ONE or TWO people who fit the buyer persona. You are welcome to Google what a buyer persona is. You will find templates for a buyer persona. You will need to know demographic and psychographic information about the consumer. If you can identify one or two buyers, you will also target those who are like consumers.

For example…if you were to create a buyer persona for me as a consumer it would look something like this:
