Maybe fewer realize the dominance of Asia on the web…42% already and with average penetration of only about 20%...lots of room to grow vs N America 76%; Europe 53%; penetration; Globally we are at about 27%; The Asian century, the internet century, the Asian internet century
,
In the US this time, Arbitron and Edison run a survey asking which medium is most essential for your life. This year, for the first time internet is most essential medium…again not because TV became less essential…but because far more people moved to saying the internet was most essential. They shifted from the lesser media. When the elephants fight the mice get trampled.Poor old newspapers dropped from 10% saying most essential in 2007 to 5% now.While television still leads among those over the age of 45, Internet dominates among younger persons age 12 to 44.Interesting side-point here, although this talks about TV and Radio…it’s not clear if the respondents will interpret these as names of media: if I find the content on an internet radio station as essential…would this count for radio or internet?I if I watch the content previously known as TV on my laptop, or mobile, or from a pre-recorded DVD (most of the top 10 Amazon DVDs are TV shows) am I watching TV?Many of these surveys have a problem with confusing content and device. Life was once easy: content was device.
Participation needs to sign in and play online game at www.manytv.com then top 30 person will be selected to play game during TV show. Show is live so player will online play game at home compete with stars in that show. The computer screen and sound of each home players will be shown in the TV show.
The study (US again) was called: “Is Social Media a New Addiction?” While I don’t subscribe to the current addiction to addictions. And another nail in the coffin of dead tree news. Notice NOT in the coffin of news: only in the deadtree version.
Easiest way to view this is just to look at people who can go without FB for a long time: notice in this survey “long time” is less than daily. Only 40-50% of respondents can bear to be away from FB for a day.(which is about what FB itself says: over 400 m active users, 50% log in on any given day, http://www.facebook.com/#!/press/info.php?statistics)
Average spend of all online transactions made in the past 3 months 550USD 388USD 409USD

But market research always understood this
But today ‘s consumer is active, engaged (or wants to be), lean forward, not lean back.We move from reach and impressions, to sustained engagement. What we once called “sticky”. I want participants interacting with my digital marketing…so they learn more about my brand (and shape how they wish), and have less time to be with my competitors’ brands.Turn On Tech Live is certainly permission based, and certainly participative!
Participation can be as simple as this email…where the recipient has to work to find the message.(I call this non-informative participation, as I don’t learn anything about the participant from the interaction…more of this in a moment)
Or as complex as this game (developed by AsiaSoft for MK restaurants, a chain based in Thailand). Diners who spend 300 baht get a login to the game that entitles them to the special (vegetable) hat…don’t ask why but possession of this became a big deal. Then you compete against your friends to get your avatar (your representation in the game) to follow the dance steps correctly…and you earn points.The whole thing is conducted against an MK restaurant backdrop, with MK restaurant music (they have their own song), and reinforced in the restaurants with dancing singing waiters and waitresses (without veggie headgear)As far as I know the circle has not yet been closed, it should be possible to spend the points earned in the game on discounts in the restaurants (or at least codes for avatar stuff from the restaurant). This would unite the on-line information that we generate about the player, with their real world identity (and make a start on informative participation)
Then of course there is viral marketing. I don’t supposed any of you have ever emailed on a quirky video clip to your friends? And so voluntarily helped the marketer both distribute the message AND choose who to distribute it to This is the epitome of participation: consumers actually do all the heavy work, choosing friends they think would appreciate that quirky vdo clip and passing it on to them
But market research always understood this
All your financial account and transactions on-line; alertsyou to any unusual activity.Have to give the site the numbers & passwords for your bank accounts & credit cards. Then it becomes you financial advisor. Will track and attempt to categorize all expenditures. You can set alerts, e.g. for when a bill is due, or a big purchase appears on your card, or you got a deposit.

Games & Quiz to stimulate your spending behavior and calculate retirement for you base on your individual behavior.
This is what Amazon serves me if I am not logged in. It’s their generic, unpersonalized home page. Now I’ve only ever bought from Amazon twice, but I’ve done many searches, read reviews etc. Everyone of those interactions goes to inform my profile…and allows them to build my personalized Amazon home page.
So when I’m logged in, I get this. Much better for me!
Here’s simple personalization from Burger King Brazil…notice how well it fits the brand: Have It Your Way…now you really know it’s your way cos it’s got your photo on it!
David Hughes a blogger, visited the travel company Kuoni’s website, to search for holidays in Thailand (yes it was last month). Then he as an automobile site and up pops the banner…thanks for visiting. Now that he found a little spooky. Then the banner changed to Thanks for your interest in Thailand.Now this is personalization…but it’s scarcely meaningful.
For some, blatant personalized is so unnerving that they simply block all ads that come from that source. Personalization needs to be done in a way that provides real benefit to the consumer, and seems natural to them
So for digimarketing: 4Ps and social context
You know social networks are mainstream when they become the stuff of TV cartoons!
Banks, especially in Asia, don’t seem to be doing so well at appealing to Gen Y.
Dexia Bank serving France and the Netherlands, has done several very innovative things. First, set up a whole separate bank, Axion, to serve Gen Y.
Then they hosted a live rock concerts competition. Bands performed on a sound stage which matched the ratio of a banner ads dimensions. Concerts appeared in banner ads. Fans could download them, and put on their social network sites etc., and could vote for their favorite band.
The winner got to perform a live gig at one of Belgium’s biggest concert halls, with live streaming on an Axion Web-TV channel.
Buck First Bank communicates with Gen-Y customer using Gen-Y reps. They blog, vdo etc. about financial services in their own terms
Don’t go overboard on social networks. Remember to leverage friends and family too.
