Let’s say you own a yoga studio in a town of yoga enthusiasts. It’s called Om Depot.
You currently offer an equal number of Level 1, 2, and 3 classes every day.
Monday through Thursday, your Level 2 and 3 classes sell out and you have to turn people away, but your Level 1 classes only have a few students.
On Fridays, however, a yoga group for beginners visits your studio. Your Level 1 classes sell out and you have to turn people away, but there is plenty of space in your Level 2 and 3 classes because advanced students take private classes at a different yoga studio on Fridays.
Once you notice this pattern, if you don’t make adjustments to your class offerings based on your customers’ behaviors, you’re missing an opportunity to serve them better.
