Customers are primary stakeholders.
There are many definitions of a stakeholder, but the most accepted one is from Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach (1984) by R. Edward Freeman: 'any group or individual who can affect or is affected by the achievement of the organization's objectives' (1984: 46).' There are as many ways of categorising stakeholders into types as there are definitions of stakeholders. My preferred method is to Eden and Akermann's Power/Interest matrix. This is a grid that separates stakeholders into Players (high power, high interest), Subjects (high interest, low power), Context Setters (high power, low interest) and Crowd (low power, low interest). You can find a version of the matrix at http://www.stakeholdermap.com/stakeholder-analysis.html. I hope this helps.
