About "The Changing Face of Consumer Expectations" topic:

Humans think in terms to straight lines but nature thinks in terms of networks. The networked world means the end of demographics. The networked world is about transparency and trust, but trust is at its lowest level ever. This provides a great opportunity to differentiate on the basis of trust. Corporations broadcast and consumers connect. Nokia want to change that and co-create with its consumers. This is because brands that do not work on improving the world and our lives will be �edited out� of our lives. Mobile phones are the seventh mass medium, after print, recordings, radio, cinema, TV and the computer. More people today will, in fact, do without a TV than a phone. Social marketing intelligence will be the black hole of the twenty first century. There will be too much data and the key will be to make sense of it. Discuss here the changing dynamics of Consumer Expectations

India is a society where modern and traditional values co-exist, and marketers would do well to understand this ability to include. Various instances of this `and-ness' exist, be it the seeming contrast between the need for power play and equality of opportunity, or a democratic system and the importance given to political heirs. Now look at the approaches to please the consumers : Understand the interplay of modern and traditional values at work in your category and address it, to emerge a winner. Ignore it at your peril. This is particularly required if there is a conflict between the modern values the new brand/product is bringing, and traditional values and codes. In such a case, the br...

Nice post. I believe that the Indian customer is looking for value, not freebies and discounts.
Akhilesh Majumdar  |  Commented  |  2 years ago
Thank You. I feel the best way to please an Indian Consumer is by giving discounts, Indians are greatly attracted to discounts. Yes Omkar gift coupons and freebies will also work.

No longer can marketers relax with the pricing that they fix for their products during its launch. One has to review constantly and keep altering the same to ensure brand loyalty. Also factors like volatility in international markets and...
Arnab Sen  |  Added idea  "Less tolerant , in customer service"  |  3 years ago
What is changing however is that consumers as a whole are becoming less tolerant when it comes to customer service. This decline is not as a result of an abrupt decrease in service deliverables, but rather an increase in the knowledge of available...

  Changing consumer attitude for market expansion   Attitude is a state of mind or a feeling; disposition towards a particular product. Attitudes Beliefs and views of consumers that affect the way consumers behave and and purchase. Changing consumer attitude can give high sales to companies. A case in point is of Johnson Johnson Baby soap. The marketing campaign positions it as good to use for both women and kids unlike other soaps targeted at only kids. (Notice the last line “Mama ko bhi chahiye moisture ka parda”).   Dairy milk is traditional example of how chocolates primarily targeted at kids in the Indian market were targeted on people of all ages. Cadbury’s success with Dairy Milk enc...

 Cohort effects can dominate age differences
Jaygopal Raghavan  |  Argues in support of  "Age differences are more important than cohort effect"  |  1 year ago
Absolutely and agree with Jayant. It is the age that matters the most. As with age your desires keep changing and so does the thirst for products. Thats why marketing is dynamic - it keeps changing on a periodical basis. There are no set methods...
AOUCHITYA KUMAR  |  Argues in support of  "Cohort effects can dominate age differences"  |  1 year ago
The choice of consumer is more important. people of all ages still like old melody/romantic songs of 60's /70's.
Mathew Cherian  |  Argues in support of  "Cohort effects can dominate age differences"  |  1 year ago
In fact age and imitations are the two sides of the same coin. Like Financial profesionals prefering pin-stripes or blue and white which is imitation, when old age buyers prefer more conservative or sometimes lite shades. Consumer behavior...

  CES 2012: The top 7 phones at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show By Barb Dybwad, Tecca | Today in Tech  – It's all about Windows Phone and Android at this year's event Whereas last year's Consumer Electronics Show was all about Android , the surprise mindshare leader at CES 2012 is Microsoft's Windows Phone mobile operating system. After completely reinventing the artist formerly known as Windows Mobile in late 2010, the company fleshed out and polished up the OS with the current Windows Phone 7.5 iteration. Thanks to a $1 billion partnership with Finnish giant Nokia early last year, as well as strong continued partnerships with handset makers HTC Samsung, the Windows Phone ecosystem is set to finally come into its own in 2012. Despite not dominating the show floor to the extent it did last year, Google's Android mobile operating system nevertheless managed a strong showing at CES 2012. Motorola announced a brace of powerful smartphones with the Droid Razr Maxx and the Droid 4...

Happiness Index New year is round the corner, so are the wishes from every near and dear ones, wishing everyone for the happy and prosperous New Year! Have we ever thought "Happiness" lies not in material gains, but in "General Well-Being" of every citizen of this country. Thierry Mathou, French Diplomat and Bhutan-watcher, once said about Bhutan, the country's unique "cultural imperative and political objective" is to achieve a "balance between spiritual and material aspects of life". He also said this was a  chance to build "a model Gross National Happiness or GNH community" that would grow vegetables on rain-fed soil and make the peopole "self-sufficient and feed themselves". The sad truth is the science of happiness remains a migraine-inducing puzzle for  national leaders. Hardly anyone has got it right, mostly because its unhappily easy to go wrong.
