11 crucial consumer trends for 2011

2010-12-04T00:45:00.000+01:00

Trendwatching.com just released an interesting collection of 11 crucial consumer trends for 2011:

1. RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS

In 2011, there will be no excuses left not to be kind as a brand.

2. URBANOMICS

Are you ready for hundreds of millions of more daring, more experienced consumers? And that's just one side effect of rapid global urbanization.

3. PRICING PANDEMONIUM

Flash sales, group buying, GPS-driven deals: in 2011 pricing will never be the same.

4. MADE FOR CHINA (IF NOT BRIC)

In 2011, expect an increasing number of 'Western' brands to launch new products or even new brands dedicated (if not paying proper respect) to consumers in emerging markets.

5. ONLINE STATUS SYMBOLS

In 2011, you can’t go wrong supplying your (online-loving) customers with any kind of symbol, virtual or 'real world', that helps them display to peers their online contributions, creations or popularity.

6. WELLTHY

As good health is now as important to some consumers as having the biggest, newest or shiniest status symbols, growing numbers of consumers will expect health products and services in 2011 to prevent misery (if not improve their quality of life), rather than merely treating illnesses and ailments.

7. SOCIAL-LITES AND TWINSUMERS

SOCIAL-LITES are all about discovery, as consumers become curators; actively broadcasting, remixing, compiling, commenting, sharing and recommending content, products, purchases, experiences to both their friends and wider audiences.

8. EMERGING GENEROSITY

In 2011, brands and wealthy individuals from emerging markets (yes, especially China) will increasingly be expected to give, donate, care and sympathize versus just sell and take. And not just in their home countries, but on a global scale

9. PLANNED SPONTANEITY

With lifestyles having become fragmented, with dense urban environments offering consumers any number of instantly available options, and with cell/smartphones having created a generation who have little experience of making (or sticking to) rigid plans, 2011 will see full-on PLANNED SPONTANEITY.

10. ECO SUPERIOR

When it comes to 'green consumption' in 2011, expect a rise in ECO-SUPERIOR products: products that are not only eco-friendly, but superior to polluting incumbents in every possible way.

11. OWNER-LESS

2011 could be the year when sharing and renting really tips into mainstream consumer consciousness.

So check it out at the Apple App-Store and keep on braining yourself and others!

Don Juan de Marco

2010-07-06T02:40:00.003+02:00

This is one of my all time favourite movies - for many reasons. I watched it for the 6th time tonight and it always touches me more. Really a movie to think and feel about:

Here is just one of the quotes of this movie:

There are only four crucial questions in life:
-What is wholy?
-What does the spirit consist of?
-What to live for?
-What to die for?

The answer is always the same: Only love!

Thank you Elisabeth for reminding me of this great quote :-)

Evernote business model

2010-06-23T19:17:00.001+02:00

Have a look at this great presentation of the CEO of evernote, Phil Libin:

A lot of things to learn from him. Here are the best points (taken from the TechCrunch Blog):

Sometimes people say “The best product doesn’t always win”, and are implying that you should focus on other areas, like marketing. In the Internet age, a good product can get the rest of that stuff (marketing, etc.) for free. So focus on that. And then charge for it.
A year ago Evernote was making most of its money from licensing its technology, but it focused on its premium plans ($5/month or $45/year) because that was more scalable. Now, premium subscriptions bring in around $300-400k a month, and licensing represents around $45k.
Evernote has 3.1 million cumulative users, and adds around 10k a day. Around 68k paying customers.
Users have grown more valuable over time. New users convert to premium at a rate of .5%. But of the users that signed up two years ago and are still active, 20% have become paid customers.
This trend is important — most users quit quickly. But the ones that stay become much more likely to pay over time.
Evernote’s cost per user is around 9 cents per active user per month. It makes around 25 cents per user per month. The site reached break even a year and a half ago.
Entrepreneurs should aim to be making money on each new active user as soon as possible. Otherwise scaling just means you’re losing money faster, rather than earning it

And even if you thing that the summary is enough, watch the video. Phil is really great.

Real leadership

2010-06-12T16:04:00.002+02:00

Have a look at this great video. This is real leadership - no words needed:

By the way - also a great example on group dynamics. What can we learn? Don´t be afraid, to blame yourself, but start and continue, even if it looks impossible. As soon as the second one joins in, no one can´t stop the dynamics of real leadership. My first leadership trainer even told me "blame yourself daily". A very wise recommendation, I now really understand.

I´m possible!

Thanks Warren Wodden for this great tweet. Another great example of how inspiring your twitter input can be!

A wonderful place to free your mind, to run with bare feet, to swim in the sea and finally to think, learn and work.

Doing your research project - Zina O´Leary

2010-05-17T09:00:00.001+02:00

This is one of my favourite books on how to do research:

You can have a look into the book on the Amazon web page at:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Essential-Guide-Doing-Research-Project/dp/1848600119/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274079262&sr=8-1

Zina also has a great web page with additional videos and charts, at:
www.uk.sagepub.com/resources/oleary

You can download her excellent powerpoint charts, which are a great summary of her book at:
http://www.uk.sagepub.com/resources/oleary/pptslides.htm

This is one of the great examples of professors that are sharing their materials openly. I would wish that this development would also come to Germany, which is still very closed in this respect. In the meantime, I am continuing my work on my PhD in the UK :-)

Here are the videos, which are a very nice overview of the book contents and the research process in general:

So keep on braining yourself and the rest of the world!

London Eye

Love never dies in London

2010-05-16T00:20:00.001+02:00

For all musical lovers of you and for all of you who also love romantic weekend hideaways, this is what Nici and me did last weekend:

Love never dies is the continuation of the Phantom of the Opera and we liked it even more than the first part. It is playing in the Adelphi Theatre in London. You find all the infos at:
http://www.loveneverdies.com/

When you are a bit more flexible on what to see, there are many booths in the city, selling cheap tickets for all the musicals which are currently on stage, like Grease, Elliot, Sister Act and many more.
And by the way - you do not need to wear a tie. I was slightly overdressed, but luckily not the only one and better than the other way round :-)

We had a great hotel with a wonderful mix of old and new elements.

It is just 200m away from the theatre and directly at the tube station Charing Cross (near Trafalgar Square). The hotel is also a great starting place for exploring the city. It is the Guoman Hotel. You find it at:
http://www.guoman.com/hotels/united_kingdom/london/charing_cross/index.html

The London Eye is just 300m to walk and directly accross the street there is a Starbucks - for all chai lovers, like me :-)

Starbucks Cards Can Now be Managed via Facebook

2010-05-02T13:40:00.002+02:00

For all Starbucksies like me - found on Mashable at:
http://ht.ly/1FGyG
Thanks to Wolfgang Niederhausen´s facebook post.

Starbucks Cards Can Now be Managed via Facebook

As an early adopter brand, Starbucks has reaped the rewards of social media innovation. Today the company is furthering those efforts with a Facebook application for customers to access and manage their Starbucks cards.

The application will go live around 1:50 p.m. PDT today and will be accessible via Starbucks’ Facebook Page. Essentially the application provides a virtual way to complete any card-related activity and even view a record of all transactions.

On the card management front, users can register (or unregister cards), check their balance, reload cards and edit profile information. The app also includes relevant rewards program information so frequent customers can check their status levels and benefits.

What’s even cooler is that come summer time, Starbucks will introduce functionality that will let users reload a Facebook friend’s Starbucks card as a gift through the application. Talk about an instant way to make a Facebook friend’s day.

Of course, most of the application’s functionality mirrors what you can already do via the Starbucks website and its iPhone app, but the Facebook app is all about convenience.

Product Manager Brad Nelson explained, “Our Facebook community is very vibrant with over seven million fans. We see this a great way to make it even easier to manage your Starbucks Card on Facebook. We can’t wait to make it easy to buy your friends a drink.”

Convenient it is. Given FacebookFacebook’s size and significance, we expect the application to be a huge hit for both customers and company.

Very Smart as so often. One of the reasons why I am a real Starbucks fan. My favourite is the Chai Tea Latte with soy milk - no I have to admit, I am addicted to it :-)

The smart thing about the Starbucks card is that you can use it to use the WIFI in the stores.

I always use this, when I am travelling to the US. See me older blog entry at:

Maximize windows on your Mac like in Windows

2010-05-02T13:18:00.002+02:00

For all of you, who also shifted from Windows to Mac, you might have run into the same problem:
The behaviour of the green window button seems to be like a lottery. Sometimes, the windows are maximized and sometimes they end up in a different size.

I found a freeware tool on:
http://www.blazingtools.com/downloads.html#rightZoom
to resolve this issue:

Right Zoom for Mac 1.63 - freeware (language: English)

Independent reviews from SwitchingToMac.com and BrightHub.com

This free tool fixes an inconvenient behavior of green Zoom button in Mac OS X. It will always expand windows on a full screen instead of strange resizing.

Last update: 06 Oct 2009;

Required: Mac OS X 10.4 or later (with Snow Leopard support)

File size: 416 KB;

Click here for download.

Just download it, copy the program file into the application folder and double click it to start and configure it. It works :-)

Dünentherme and Gosch in Sankt Peter Ording

2010-04-21T22:03:00.000+02:00

When you plan a visit to the North Sea, you have to make a stop in Sankt Peter Ording. You find a long sandy beach there and Gosch opened a subsidiary 2 years ago. We always used to prefer the surf spot in SPO, but with Gosch, the decision becomes more difficult.

Great quant statistic course on youtube

2010-03-31T21:42:00.001+02:00

I found a great channel on youtube, called the headlessprofessor.
This professor explains quantitative statistics, so that I can understand it easily.
My problem with the most statistical lectures I received, was that the professors were just too advanced on stats for me. This guy really makes quant stats for dummies.

I compiled the relevant videos from his channel here:

Please let me know, when you find other great sources like this. I am looking especially for easy to understand lectures on the more advanced bivariate and multivariate analysis concepts and tools.

I keep you updated on the headless professor. I have subscribed to his channel.

Entrepeneurship - Kopf schlägt Kapital - Prof Faltin

2010-03-26T19:46:00.002+01:00

Read this book:

It is one of the best books on entrepeneurship, I have ever read. Prof Faltin questions all classic assumptions on entrepeneurship. His main thesis is that it is not capital, but ideas who form enterprises and that enterprises can be formed out of existing modules in the market.

He is far more than a professor. He is the founder of the Teekampagne which is the world largest importer of Darjeeling tea. One very smart thesis from him is: not the customer is king, but common sense. He even says that you have to ignore your customers to create something really interesting and revolutionary, as many customers are like rear mirrors. They are extremely conservative and boring, they have no imagination and they do not know their real wishes. Very interesting, when you think about it and you will understand it, when you have read his book.
