Extended The extended consumer for CWAC is the consumers who already exist within the independent coffee houses. This consumer is of a wider age between 25-45, both male and female. This consumer is still part of the millennial generation but also stretches into generation X. The extended consumer will be slightly older than ACTillennials, this consumer is affluent professionals who are at the peak of their wealth. Perhaps without dependents meaning they have a large disposable income, which is why they are prepared to spend more money on coffee at independent stores rather than chain stores. For CWAC this is an advantage because it means that the extended consumer is in a position to give to charity. With them being affluent professionals they will have received a higher level of education. Allowing them to be more aware of social issues, this could incline them to want to make donations to CWAC and support their local coffee shop that they already have loyal too.
