    • Most important group
    • Second most important user group
    • Somewhat important user group
  • Consider what action will potentially lead to sales. What is the primary action these users should take when coming to your site; make a purchase, become a member, search for information, demo your product, event signup?

What specific content do you feel each audience group would want to see on the website?
