Tech firms turn to social media to reach consumers
2008-11-20 04:44:00 Source: ReutersBy Gabriel MadwayRecognizing the limits of traditional advertising, established technology companies are diving headlong into the sometimes chaotic landscape of social media to promote their products. Companies ranging from PC maker Dell Inc to storage equipment maker NetApp Inc are increasingly turning to outside blogs, viral videos and websites such as FaceBook, Twitter, FriendFeed and Digg -- and their tens of millions of users -- to reach consumers. These social networking sites harness the age-old power of the word-of-mouth recommendation and can be potent marketing tools. If nothing else, they demand a higher level of consumer engagement than conventional ads. "This is 180 degrees from that sort of advertising," said Debra Aho Williamson, a senior analyst at eMarketer. "Having a conversation with them (consumers) is a very new skill." For tech companies with big marketing budgets, the shift to social media is an implicit acknowledgment th...

What's New With China's Consumers
2008-10-13 20:03:00 McKinsey is just out with a new and very comprehensive survey and analysis of the Chinese consumer, entitled, "What's new with the Chinese consumer" (free registration required). Its subtitle is that "It’s hard for brand managers to keep pace with the shifting attitudes of Chinese consumers. But some trends can be discerned amid the noise." The upshot is that brand loyalty seems to be weakening in China and word of mouth is more important than television ads. Unfortunately, this survey was before the Sanlu milk scandal which must have impacted consumer sentiment. Go here to learn all.

US Drug Companies Abuse US Consumers
2008-09-02 07:53:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated September 2:In the comments section to the The Market Virus post, James Schipper notes: Drugs are not a natural monopoly, so why are pharmaceutical companies making such large profits? Answer: patents. Once a pharmaceutical company has a patent on a drug, it has a monopoly for several years. The reason for this patent system is that it is thought to encourage research and thereby allow consumers to gain access to new drugs.There is no doubt that a lot of new drugs are coming on the market, but whether the patent system ultimately has more advantages than disadvantages is hard to say. What is certain is that it keeps drug prices high and also encourages wasteful research for near-duplicates.If company A develops a new drug against, say, headaches and acquires a patent on it, then company B can't compete directly against it by selling t...

As China’s Consumers Start Spending More, U.S Consumers Will Begin to Fee
2008-05-19 09:00:00 As China grapples with the consequences of its devastating earthquake, it finally also has begun to confront the destabilizing forces bubbling that are bubbling up from beneath its economic landscape. Last week, several key Chinese officials, typically not known for their candor, conspicuously noted the need to both stimulate domestic consumer spending and to bring down roaring inflation. While at first blush these two goals might appear mutually exclusive, China’s leaders do have a “magic bullet” that can hit both targets at once. The Easy Way vs. The Hard Way A stronger currency, commensurate with China’s increased economic strength, will simultaneously tamp down inflation and enable Chinese consumers to buy more goods and services. However, for reasons not entirely clear to me (or few others, for that matter), China’s leaders are resisting this simple-and-beneficial solution. By prodding China’s citizens to spend more, the country’s leaders say their goa...
