Geoff Moore\u2019s book <em>Crossing the Chasm <\/em>proposes a model for how this works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Moore\u2019s Idea Diffusion Curve&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/idea-curve.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/idea-curve.jpg 606w, https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/idea-curve-300x142.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The X-axis (horizontal) of the graph shows different types of consumers, and the Y-axis (vertical) shows roughly how many of each type there are.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The center part of the curve seems like the ideal place to target, and in fact that\u2019s exactly what traditional mass marketing does. Remember the TV-industrial complex: Ads generate profits, which generates more ads. <strong>However, the most valuable part of the marketing curve is often the left side: <\/strong>The risk-taking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/keep-innovating\/\">innovators and early adopters<\/a> who are actively looking for new and better products.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will the risk-takers be more likely to adopt a new product, but they\u2019ll also often be the ones to spend the most money on it. For example, a large bank noticed that only 10% of their customers were using their mobile app every day; however, those customers accounted for 70% of the bank\u2019s deposits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, innovators and early adopters will be the ones to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/spread-ideas\/\">spread a new idea<\/a> to the rest of the curve. This idea diffusion is far more effective (and therefore much more valuable) than targeting the majority with ads that they\u2019ll just ignore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>However<\/em>, oftentimes innovators and early adopters won\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-sell-a-product\/\">sell your product<\/a> very well. They don\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/know-your-product\/\">know your product<\/a> the way you do, and they aren\u2019t trained on the messages you\u2019d want to convey. That\u2019s why <strong>a good slogan is key.<\/strong> In the days of mass marketing, a slogan was a way to get your entire message across in just a few seconds during a commercial or ad; nowadays it makes sure that people give their friends the right message about your product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The early and late majority are usually looking for safety and certainty, and they won\u2019t buy a new product until the risk-taking innovators and early adopters have tried it and vouched for it. Also, many of the early and late majority are the \u201csatisfied customers\u201d mentioned before, the ones who aren\u2019t looking for something new. Not only do you have to convince them that their product is worthwhile, <strong>you have to convince them that it\u2019s worth switching from whatever they\u2019re using now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why the leading brand in a market has a huge advantage. People who don\u2019t have time to sort through all the different choices will often just assume that the most recognizable name is the best (or at least good enough for them).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Case Study: Digital Cameras<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital cameras initially sold very poorly because they were difficult to use and the photo quality wasn\u2019t great. Twenty years ago, the only people you\u2019d see with digital cameras were the tech fanatics who wanted to stay on the cutting edge\u2014that is to say, the innovators and early adopters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufacturers noticed this, and made great strides to improve both the quality and ease of use of their products. With the major problems fixed, digital cameras all but completely replaced film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This happened because <strong>digital cameras were able to successfully move through the marketing curve.<\/strong> Cameras without film were remarkable enough to attract the innovators, and (once the issues were fixed) had distinct advantages over the older film cameras. For example, digital cameras are much more convenient than film since you don\u2019t have to get the pictures developed, and are cheaper in the long run because you don\u2019t have to keep buying new film. These advantages are clear and easily demonstrated, which makes digital cameras easy products for innovators to sell to their friends through idea diffusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is idea diffusion?
