Adopter Categories

    0.03 sec.
Adopter Categories
Categories of consumers based upon readiness to purchase a new product. Adopter categories include innovators (2.5% of the market), early adopters (13.5%), early majority (34%), late majority (34%) and laggards (16%). Targeting a product to the appropriate adopter category at the appropriate time can help it become a success with the group of consumers its makers are trying to reach. For example, a company may attempt to identify and sell to innovators before early adopters, early adopters before early majority, and so forth.
