I selected this article from Curatti written by Raymond Morin because it provides predictures on consumer behavior in the next two years.

 

The influence of buyers has dramatically changed and will continue to evolve.

 

Understand The 'Generaction C' Consummer

 

Customers are more connected online than ever before. I agree that in order to grab their attention you need find out what they are looking for in a brand.

 

Morin shows the latest changes in consummer behavior and how to best meet their needs and desires.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • The trust meter has gone down over the last few years. Today people rely on review and recomendations -- especially from family and friends.

 

  • Content that is spread through social media has become the main source of information. These outlets are priority over traditional media.

 

  • With mobile platforms like Snapchat and Instagram consummers now want instant information. This has also created an emergence of niche bloggers to meet the demand.

Many professionals are turning to social media as a place of trust for their purchasing decisions and it’s no different for the IT industry. IT decision makers have a highly-regarded task of ensuring they recommend the best products and services for their organizations.
LinkedIn, Forrester Consulting, and Research Now zeroed in on these professionals to see how they utilize social media, including its effects on their purchasing decisions and how they engage with social.
According to Michael Weir, Head of Category Development for the Technology Industry at LinkedIn, “It’s no surprise that [IT decision makers] are heavy users of social networks. In fact, 85% have used at least one social network for business purposes. What’s surprising is that 73% have engaged with an IT vendor on a social network – underscoring the value of the channel for IT marketers. Even more revealing is the fact that social media is now a critical source of influence across the entire decision making process, not just during the initial research phase.”
