Report Highlights
Across the globe, consumers are becoming more connected through the help of
new technology. In particular, increased broadband internet access has
encouraged new internet users, as well as those already using the internet to
spend more time on it, because it enhances the user experience and makes the
evolution from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 possible.
It is incorrect to assume that successful Online Social Networking (OSN) based
marketing is only relevant for brands targeting younger consumers. Although
they remain the core group driving the trend, the reality is that OSN is also
relevant to a broad range of age cohorts.
Social media derived marketing needs to be engaging and not overly forced.
Consumer packaged goods companies that would be especially well-advised to
engage in the commercialization of social networking are those whose target
market already feels a strong sense of engagement.
