MARKETING STRATEGY FOR EARLY & LATE ADOPTERS
Early adopters are an easy sell and also too niche a segment to be a sole focus. Market success will require us to target late adopters, but they will be more difficult to convert. This strategy will help them to trust the product, to overcome their aversion to risk, to develop their investment mindset, and to overcome their capital barrier. - 2-pronged strategy to target early (seeàbelieve) and late adopters (tryàbelieve) - Identify triggers, accelerators, and barriers to design marketing solutions that get late adopters on board earlier. 102
