Curiously Wikipedia contains a whole article about "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer Consumer]" and only a ''stub'' about "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer Customer]". (As on 16:48, 31 March 2011 (UTC))

Customer derives from "custom," meaning "habit"; a customer was someone who frequented a particular shop, who made it a habit to purchase goods of the sort the shop sold there rather than elsewhere, and with whom the shopkeeper had to maintain a [[relationship]] to keep his or her "custom," meaning expected purchases in the future.

Because today customers will '''not go back to being anonymous masses''' you can market at, and because as a company you may not have the luxury of such a fat [[marketing]] budget any more, you need to '''''invest in the right kind of tools''''' that will put the information at your fingertips, when you need it.

While typical customers don't exist anymore - '''we've all become individuals''', especially thanks to online access - there are now more ways to learn about who your customers are and what they want and do. If you invest time and attention in capturing the data and doing something with it (the doing part is especially important).

:Do you know that:
*50% of people login to social networking sites regularly throughout the day
*43% of people check social networking sites before going to bed, 1 in 5 check when they wake up
*28% of people have uploaded a picture of a meal they were eating to a social site, this increases to 47% for 18–34 year olds
*27% of respondents expected a response within 3 days when complaining via a company web site, 1 in 5 expected a response within an hour on Twitter or on Facebook
*48% of 18 – 34 year olds check Facebook as soon as they wake up
*20% of adults in Great Britain own a smartphone
So listening is the first priority to engage with customers

;Today, you've got to approach [[customer intelligence]] - how shall I put it? - more intelligently.
