Den här frågan är antagligen väldigt enkel men jag är ändå osäker. Vilket är rätt: "You, our customer, are important to us" eller "You, our customer, is important to us"? Ska "you" styra "are" eller "our customer" styra "is"?

You, our customer, are important to us
'You' is the subject, 'our customer' is a subordinate clause, so 'you' is the operative subject in this sentence = you are
