The Consumer Age –Live in It, Respect It
Times change, and so do lifestyles and habits. This will be realized if we were to glance back at our lives in the last decade. We will realize how we have changed in terms of our communication habits, from those secret chits being exchanged under the tables to the secret classroom texts and even WhatsApp messages these days. Whether personally or business-wise, you will be left behind if you do not catch up with the trend, and it may prove to be fatal for your business interest.
There have been several ways of business domination, which differed from time to time. From 1900 to 1960, sheer manufacturing power held sway which changed in terms of strategic distribution till 1990.
The companies which benefited using these strategies include brands such as Ford, Sony; and Wal-Mart,Toyota respectively. It was from the early 90s that advertising became a crucial business tool. The period till 2010 saw connected PCs via Google, Amazon and others.
It is only since the last few years that customers started to have a say in matters as they came to realize their potential of being kingmakers. After all, why do we go to someone who does not respect us and our feelings? Boosted by social media, this contemporary age is referred to as the ‘Age of the Customer’.
