market share V.S. share of wallet

Share of Wallet (SOW) is a survey method used in performance management that helps managers understand the amount of business a company gets from specific customers.
Another common definition is the following: Share of Wallet is the percentage ("share") of a customer's expenses ("of wallet") for a product that goes to the firm selling the product. Different firms fight over the share they have of a customer's wallet, all trying to get as much as possible. Typically, these different firms don't sell the same but rather ancillary or complementary products

“市場佔有率market share”V.S.“客戶的荷包佔有率share of wallet”,理念有著本質的不同。

代表傳統經營理念的“市場佔有率”是將顧客看作沒有個性的群體,其著眼點是“以產品為中心”,強調的是市場佔有率。而“客戶的荷包佔有率”的思想則是把顧客視為不同的個體來對待,是“以顧客為中心”,強調的是顧客的持續購買力和價值貢獻量。因此,以“客戶的荷包佔有率”為核心的企業可以向較少或一定數量的顧客銷售更多的產品或服務,從而更加具有成本效益。根據20/80帕列托法則,80%的營業額來源於20%的重要客戶。這些客戶對於企業可謂是VIP,我們如何去挖掘“客戶荷包裡的錢”,就是行銷策略中很重要的一門學問。

*義大利經濟學家維弗雷多·帕列托(Vilfredo Pareto)在1906年對義大利20%的人口擁有80%的財產的觀察而得出的,後來管理學思想家約瑟夫·朱蘭(Joseph M. Juran)和其他人把它概括為帕列托法則(Pareto Principle)。
