Social:Angel and demon customers

From HandWiki

Angel and demon customers is a marketing concept dividing customers into two groups.[1] Angel customers are profitable, whereas demon customers may actually cost a company more to serve than it makes from them.[1] Demon customers attempt to extract as much value as possible out of the seller.[1] Examples of demon customer buying behaviour:

  • Buying discounted merchandise designed to boost store traffic, then resell the goods at a profit on eBay.[1]
  • Buying a product, apply for rebates, return the purchases, then buy them back at returned merchandise discounts.[1]
