Notes de l'éditeur
What they are preparing for, who these people are, and why.
Tend to shy away from urban environments.
IntrepretationThis is due to survivalists considering themselves well informed consumers(Simmons) and relatively unaffected by emotional appeals.LearningIn this class clients pay $800 a piece to learn from experts how to survive an urban disaster.(Donvan)MotivationWhile survivalists tend to work together in groups, such as local cooperatives and survivalists web communities (Sims pg. 1), they assert a strong need for independence and self-reliance.Survivalists tend to be susceptible to brand switching. 25% of survivalists agree that they would change brands simply for the novelty of something new, and 54% say they like to pursue challenges, novelty, and change.(Simmons) PersonalityMany enjoy taking risks, are happy with their lives, and consider themselves optimists at significantly higher rates than the American populace as a whole.The two brand personality types most accurately identified with survivalists are ruggedness and sincerity
LifestyleGood at fixing thingsAlways looking for ways to improve their home and own an unusual high number of power tools. Self-ConceptRegarding affection, survivalists view themselves as affectionate, passionate, loving, and romantic.Intelligence encompasses survivalists’ view of themselves as being intelligent, smart, bright, and well-informedKindness involves their self-concept of being kind, good-hearted, warmhearted, and sincere.(Simmons) Their kindness is manifested by their protective instincts of themselves and their family and their strong community bonds. No survivalist disagrees that they are trustworthy, and only 1.3% of them disagree that they are self-assuredThey also see themselves as being self-assured, confident, self-sufficient, and secure.(Simmons) Disagree that they are liberal mindedMany of them are located in areas known for republican political affiliations. Situational InfluencesThey want to believe they aren’t affected by impulse buys, but they are.Survivalists prefer to shop with their family with an index of 149, and when shopping with a family a buyer tends to spend more. Survivalists are especially influenced by their children.(Simmons) They want the best brands, a good clean store, and convenience to their location. Christmas gun with children picture on lifestyle slide – caption- “We like the smell of gun powder in the morning”Drowning remains second only to motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 1 to 14. Furthermore, children are much more likely to practice safe habits when they experience similar behavior by parents and caregivers.

So the product we choose should be family oriented with a concentration in outdoors activitiesWe looked under sports and leisure, and realized water related activities are consistently higher than the population as a wholeOnly 7% own a personal watercraft, this index is almost 3000With such a high percentage of the target involved in water activities, there will be a very high demand.It is likely that demand for our product will increase during the spring and summer months. Children will grow out of their previous life jackets, and adults will want to upgrade their current jackets to have better quality and more utility.
PoliticalTherefore it will not have an impact on the market for life jacketsEconomicalSome water sports such as jet skiing or sailing tend to be more expensive and will be negatively impacted by a recessionSocialThe social part of our product is important due to the survivalist’s culture
TechnologyWith our segment being willing to pay more for quality, the technology involved in developing the jacket will be an important selling pointEnvironmentWith our segment being relatively unreceptive to coupons, price discounts may not be very effective to push sales during seasonal down timesLegalThe shoulder area of life jackets must be strong enough to sustain lifting the child up by the jacket. This has influenced the design of the product.http://www.uscgboating.org/news/default.aspx?ArticleId=82
This is because this is the material used for bullet proof vests and survivalists, who tend to be avid gun owners, will likely be familiar with Kevlar. The neoprene will allow for a slimmer design for added comfort.Air tight pockets will be stitched onto the jacket, but the zipper and buckles will be concealed by a flap with Velcro.Age five is chosen because much younger than that and the child has limited ability in navigating a website to create a pattern design, and fourteen is chosen as the cap because of the law requiring children 14 and under to wear a life jacket.
