Evolving Consumer Behavior Means Consumers Win in Expanding Media Market

According to author Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg's Persuasion Architecture (http://www.cattobark.com/) model, businesses can anticipate buyer behavior to reach their customers with success.

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) July 11, 2006 -- From the merchants of the Middle Ages to the e-business era of today, the goal of the seller has remained relatively simple. Earn the confidence of the customer and the product sells. But as New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling authors Jeff and Bryan Eisenberg explain, consumer behavior (http://www.cattobark.com/) has changed; customers today are not as easily convinced by the marketing ploys and gimmicks of the past, leaving businesses struggling to catch up.

At the advent of radio and television, the audience was eager to blindly walk into the mass-marketing traps laid out by advertisers. People readily identified with strategies like name brand recognition, often implemented by repetition of a slogan or jingle. With such limited media sources, consumers tended to buy the most heavily marketed goods and services.

But as new media sources began to emerge -- cable, satellite, and the Internet -- customers began to gain control of their buying experiences. In their new New York Times Wall Street Journal best-selling book, “Waiting for Your Cat to Bark?” the Eisenberg brothers explain, “Increasingly customers are associating brand not with a message but with their entire experiences surrounding the product or service.”

People no longer rely on the name brand mentality in their buying experience. This implies fruition on the behalf of the consumer. The customer is learning.

As Harry G. Frankfurt Professor of Emeritus Philosophy at Princeton University puts it, “People can spot a false claim, a hyped pitched, or an over reaching associative clue in a nanosecond.” Due to this evolving customer behavior, is it becomingly increasingly harder for businesses to reach their target audience.

In their book the Eisenberg brothers outline a new business model for assessing this constantly evolving consumer behavior (http://www.cattobark.com/). Through their method of Persuasion Architecture (http://www.cattobark.com/) they provide a guide to identifying with the customer in order to anticipate the demands of the buyer, giving them what they want, when they want it, and nothing they don’t.
