Target Market
ZEEMH has identified three distinct customer segments:
B2B – start-up independent coffee shops that aim to establish themselves as a boutique coffee
shop,
B2B – established independent coffee shops that aim to differentiate their offering from their
competition,
B2C – coffee drinkers that enjoy making good quality coffee at home (speciality coffee
drinkers). These buyers buy the beans whole to grind the coffee themselves, for the freshest
cup possible. ZEEMH has made a strategic decision not to sell ground coffee (this would
increase the cost of production).
