Spotting The Shiny New Thing

Are you an early adopter? Trendspotting blog features a link to a new AdAge report outlining and recommending how to market to early adopters”. Much like the Seth Godin concept of capturing the “sneezers” of a group (the portion of any social network who identify, adopt and evangelize new things) this research paper classifies the early adopters and their flock into categories and allows readers to outline opportunities and tactics to have a dialogue these groups. The report is titled “Shiny New Things: What Digital Adopters Want, How to Reach Them and Why Every Marketer Should Pay Attention” and is available as a free PDF.

    Getting those early adopters is important because they can help drive the success or failure of any new technology. People often go to the people in their social network to decide what purchase to make. If an early adopter gives a technology or device or product a thumbs-down, it can be deadly for a brand.
