Customer Profile

Urban Outfitters
A pen portrait is a written profile that describes the characteristics and shopping habits of the core customer. It provides a composite
picture of the target consumer which is built from primary and secondary research. A visual depiction is also useful – this should
include a portrait type image as well as images from lifestyle / food magazines etc. Use images that typify a range of brand / product /
lifestyle choices for that consumer – and combine drawing, collage, text

there are ways you can make it work.
