question

Innovator (1/5 Classes of Consumers)

answer

Venturesome; although they make up a very small part of the total market, innovators play a very important role. They are interested in anything new, and are quick to adopt new and innovative products. Innovators knew about the Anti-Gravity Belt months before it was introduced and paid a high price to be among the first to have this new product.

question

Early Adopter (2/5 Classes of consumers)

answer

Young and restless; early adopters are opinion leaders. They pay attention to what the innovators have discovered and find a practical use for the innovation. They then communicate to their followers the usefulness of the new product. They play a very important role by influencing the attitude and changing the behavior of the later adopters. An early adopter who is a house painter learned about the Anti-Gravity Belt from an innovator and bought one to help him paint ceilings. He told all his colleagues how much easier and faster he could paint high places with his new Anti-Gravity Belt.

question

Early Majority (3/5 classes of consumers)

answer

Value shoppers; the early majority carefully observe the early adopters, but wait to adopt innovative products until they are sure they will get value from them. The early majority will only adopt a new product if they are sure the new product will provide usefulness to their lives - and not be a waste of their time and money. Two years after the Anti-Gravity Belt is invented, a member of the early majority hears about the new product from the guy painting his house. Still, the early majority waits until he has also seen advertising and read an article in the paper about the benefits of the Anti-Gravity Belt before he adopts the product.

question

Late Majority (4/5 classes of consumers)

answer

Skeptics; the late majority wait until an innovation has been accepted by a majority of consumers and the price has dropped to adopt the new product. The late majority typically adopt innovative products because they feel as if everyone else is doing it. Five years after the Anti-Gravity Belt is invented, a member of the late majority buys an Anti-Gravity Belt because his son tells him he wants one so that he can play basketball with all his friends who already have one.

question

Laggards (5/5 classes of consumers)

answer

Traditionalists; laggards are the very last group to adopt a new product. Laggards are content with what they have, and they adopt new products unenthusiastically and only because they feel as if they have to. Ten years after the Anti-Gravity Belt is invented, the government mandates that anyone who climbs a ladder must wear an Anti-Gravity Belt. Because they have been forced to do so, laggards will then adopt the new product.
