4.1 Customer Segments
| Segment | Profile | Key Products | Purchase Frequency | % of Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Local Residents | Adults 25–55, middle income, purchasing for home consumption | Beer, brandy, ciders, value wine | 2–4x per month | 40% |
| Social Event Buyers | Individuals or groups buying for weddings, parties, funerals, and celebrations | Cases of beer, spirits, party packs | Seasonal / event-driven | 25% |
| Informal Traders | Tavern and shebeen owners purchasing stock in bulk for resale | Beer cases, value spirits, ciders | Weekly | 20% |
| Young Professionals | Ages 21–35, aspirational consumers with higher disposable income | Premium whisky, gin, wine, craft beer | 2–3x per month | 15% |
4.2 Addressable Market
The Johannesburg South commercial corridor serves an estimated population of 250,000–300,000 residents within a 10 km radius. Applying the national adult drinking prevalence rate of approximately 31% (per the South African Demographic and Health Survey), the serviceable addressable market comprises roughly 60,000–75,000 regular alcohol consumers. Even a conservative 3–5% market-share capture translates to 1,800–3,750 active customers—more than sufficient to support the Year 1 revenue target of R5.4 million.
4.3 Customer Acquisition Strategy
The customer acquisition strategy is built around three pillars: visibility, value, and community. Grand-opening promotions, aggressive pricing on high-visibility categories (beer cases, branded spirits), and WhatsApp broadcast lists will drive initial trial. Ongoing retention relies on the tiered loyalty programme, weekly promotional campaigns, and community event sponsorships that position Urban Jazz Premium Liquors as a social anchor in the neighbourhood.
