Who is your prospect? Pretend your prospect is sitting across from you right now... define him or her in great detail. How old are they? What gender? What are their interests or passions? What do they like and dislike? Where do they live? Are they married? Have kids?
Paying customer is parents of a Jewish child age 7-12. The average age of Jewish Bostonian mothers at first childbirth would be
approximately 28.5 years old. Assume 4 years between children, and two children in total. Expected maternal age at Bar Mitzvah in Boston would be age 43 and at Bat Mitzvah would be age 42. This demographic has a 30% to 34% divorce rate.
So, 3/10 will be single parents relative to that child, but 2/3 of those will have remarried. Given one Jewish parent, there is
a 53% that the other parent (or step spouse) will be Jewish.
Our ideal target is already affiliated with a Conservative or a Reform synagogue, although some will affiliate for the Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah.
While the Mother carries the "Jewishness," it is often the father who passes on the Jewish learning to the next generation.
Our core target audience is Jewish Married (to original spouse) Couples in Boston. Approximately 35% (70% are still married to original spouse, 50% of spouses are Jewish) of Jewish Boston kids fit that criteria. We will later expand to reach a broader segment of the Jewish community.
