There is a dictum called the 80:20 rule, which basically says that you can ignore the 20% least profitable end of your market because the additional cost of selling to them doesn't justify the returns. Only if you are in a mature market, do they matter; otherwise you simply create a new product, when the previous one has saturated the 80%.
