Les stratégies mobile gagnantes pour les PME. The Varied Regional Buying Patterns of Mexico’s Consumers. Fabiola de la Portilla, Account Director, Nielsen Mexico With a population of more than 112 million people and an area about three times the size of Texas, Mexico is a vast country. As the second most populous country in Latin America and the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world, it is a vital market for marketers and consumer packaged goods companies to understand. But to view Mexico’s consumers as uniform in their shopping habits and trends would be a mistake: consumption patterns vary widely based on where people live.

Retailers and CPG manufacturers seeking to win in this diverse nation would do well to appreciate its regional diversity. On a national basis, the average Mexican consumer belongs to a medium sized family (between 4-5 members) with low to modest purchasing power largely wielded by a head of household who has no formal job outside of the home.

Retail Channels and Shopping Frequency. Supercollider | 2011 Trends » *supercollider. I’ve never done one of the semi-mandatory annual trends prediction posts that greet every new year, and had no plans to start now. Which is probably a good thing, considering it’s now February already. But I thought it might still be useful to highlight the conceptual areas that I think hold the most promise for continuing exploration, innovation and creativity in 2011. I thought it would help me frame up the year, and if nothing else serve as a useful snapshot in time about what I’m excited about. And there is a lot to be excited about.

L’histoire d’Internet en France : Initialement accessible à un nombre réduit d’utilisateurs (entreprises et universités), l’utilisation d’Internet par le grand public n’a commencé qu’à partir de 1994. A cette époque le premier fournisseur d’accès grand public naissait sous le nom de WorldNet, suivi rapidement par FranceNet, Calvacom, Internet Way et Imaginet.

BEST GLOBAL BRANDS 2010: Apple fails to break into top flight. The company, headed by Steve Jobs, boosted its brand through carefully controlled messaging and an endless wave of buzz surrounding new product launches, but somewhat surprisingly failed to make the top 10. It has recently taken a knock in public perception due to problems with reception encountered by its iPhone 4 handset, which led to the offer of a free rubber casing for those who were dissatisfied with their purchase. The brand barometer placed soft drinks manufacturer Coca-Cola as its top global brand, with technology brand IBM taking second place, Microsoft third and Google fourth. Another technology company, Hewlett-Packard, broke into the top ten for the first time as the company had "increased brand value under a new business model and brand platform", according to Interbrand.

One of the strongest improvers in the technology sector was BlackBerry with a 32% hike in brand value. League Tables. Are Twitter Followers Better Than Facebook Fans? Marketers looking to push out the most effective messages to opt-in recipients must understand how audiences differ across channels and what causes them to connect with brands. Marketing venues that seem similar may differ strongly if their users have different needs and motivations. According to the final edition of ExactTarget’s “Subscribers, Fans and Followers” report, the differences between email, Facebook and Twitter also include their influence on customer loyalty.

Daily Twitter users who followed a brand were more than twice as likely as daily Facebook users who “liked” a brand to say they were more likely to purchase from the brand after becoming a social media follower. What’s more, Facebook fans were the most likely group to actively disagree with the question.

Subscribers to opt-in marketing emails fell in the middle. The pattern among Twitter followers, email subscribers and Facebook fans was similar when asked about whether they would recommend a brand.

Global Trends in Healthy Eating. Eating healthy is a goal for most people, but often times a difficult one to regularly achieve. Work and family responsibilities often make time scarce, and it is easier to go out to restaurants or prepare ready-made meals at home. The recent recession also prompted many to search for value, and sometimes healthy options such as organic produce and other environmental considerations took a back seat as they are oftentimes considered more expensive than “standard” products.

The Nielsen Company gauged the world’s view of healthy eating, organics and other related issues earlier this year as part of a global online survey, polling more than 27,000 consumers in 55 markets from Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East/Africa (consisting of countries from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and South Africa), North America and Latin America. The views were diverse, but at the very least, most people want to do right when it comes to the foods they consume. Organic Growth Takes Root. Marketers Educate via Video. Video Content Shared Widely Data from “Social Media Usage, Attitudes and Measurability” indicates that 61% of marketers use video content on their own websites, while another 56% use video content on third-party video-sharing sites.

This indicates that a majority of marketers are willing to sacrifice some measure of control over their video content distribution and management in order to reach as wide an audience as possible. Marketers also show limited openness to different video platforms. Thirteen percent use video content in emails, and 7% use video content on mobile devices. While the future of email is somewhat unclear, it seems fairly likely the percentage of marketers distributing video content via mobile device should substantially grow in the next several years. Video as Teaching Tool Almost three-quarters (72%) of marketers use online video for education about their products and services.

Luxury Lifestyle.com - Live the Good Life. The State Of Mobile Commerce In Europe. I booked my first hotel night via a mobile device a year ago. I didn’t even think about the fact that it would be considered an “mCommerce” transaction, as I simply booked it directly on the hotel group’s Web site via the browser of my mobile phone. The site wasn’t actually optimized for mobile devices, but it was possible to enter my credit card details via a secure Web transaction.

That’s not ideal, so I wonder how many mobile transactions that firm has missed simply because it doesn’t provide a compelling user experience. European mobile commerce is still at an early stage. Digital content is still the primary product purchased via mobile devices, but European consumers show growing interest in using their mobile phones for all sorts of shopping activities. I have recently contributed to a new report on the state of mobile commerce in Europe, written by my colleagues serving eBusiness Channel and Strategy Professionals. Social Media and Young Adults. By Amanda Lenhart, Kristen Purcell, Aaron Smith and Kathryn Zickuhr Overview Since 2006, blogging has dropped among teens and young adults while simultaneously rising among older adults. As the tools and technology embedded in social networking sites change, and use of the sites continues to grow, youth may be exchanging ‘macro-blogging’ for microblogging with status updates.

Blogging has declined in popularity among both teens and young adults since 2006. Blog commenting has also dropped among teens. 14% of online teens now say they blog, down from 28% of teen internet users in 2006.This decline is also reflected in the lower incidence of teen commenting on blogs within social networking websites; 52% of teen social network users report commenting on friends’ blogs, down from the 76% who did so in 2006.By comparison, the prevalence of blogging within the overall adult internet population has remained steady in recent years. Teens are not using Twitter in large numbers.

What is pervasive creativity in the era of Social Media? I recently had to write an essay for Ogilvy about what pervasive creativity could mean. Here are some of my first insights. As Zygmunt Bauman says, we live in the era of liquid modernity. Before: when an issue arose, we used to go to “solid” icons: local institutions, Church, family. To the senior professionals of the linear function we belonged to. It has all changed: now you have less and less time to solve more and more problems. It's true for consumers, who own the power to allocate time to a brand or not. This holds even more relevance for us, as agency professionals: if we want to sell ads or messages that are powerful valuable propositions for our public, we therefore need to see where the value lies.

Think about this “brief” we've all had from a client: “I want to leverage buzz for my brand new product”; you cannot respond with a simple, solid process. Creativity does not (only) belong to Art Directors and Copywriters According to David Ogilvy, creativity is a dynamics: World Map of Social networks.
