While the set of users and customers have a strong overlap the sets are not identical. If a business can’t tell the difference, then that is a problem.

I get that there is some negative connotation with “user”, so there are reasons to look for another word.

This is a fair representation of the differences that I think about so I will link to it instead of rehashing the points:

Definitely “user”.

I’ve been in IT for a very long time and there’s only two businesses that call their customers “users” fora reason and I’m okay with that!

Whistleblower! :slight_smile:

A primary goal of marketing is to induce a relationship with a customer by presenting an emotional simulation (persona) with which they can interact. The persona is devised by rational, analytical means.

This is why sensible people don’t trust marketing. It’s manipulative. :slight_smile:
