Five keys to unlock consumer engagement - Mumbrella
When it comes to consumer engagement strategies, most agencies try the same thing over and over: 1. Get eyeballs on the product 2. Get customers to share their (positive) experiences with one another, reinforcing purchase behaviours 3. Ultimately…sell more stuff! It all seems pretty straightforward…right? Unfortunately, it’s rubbish. Any strategy that follows the above process is doomed. It’s not even logical. Eyeballs don’t lead to behaviour change.
We can't keep adding cars to our roads. Is it time to say goodbye?
The average car is stationary 96% of the time. That’s a fairly consistent finding around the world, including in Australia. A car is typically parked at home 80% of the time, parked elsewhere 16% of the time, and on the move just 4% of the time. And that doesn’t include the increasing time we spend at a standstill in traffic. Bill Ford, executive chair of the Ford Motor Company, says we’re heading for “global gridlock”. And he’s not alone in saying we cannot simply keep adding more cars to our roads.

Buying more stuff isn't always the answer to happiness
The average German household contains 10,000 items. That’s according to a study cited by Frank Trentmann in his sweeping history of consumption, Empire of Things. We’re “bursting”, he says, with the amount of stuff that we have - while all of this is steeping us in debt and dangerously depleting the planet’s resources and systems. So after Christmas, and the Boxing Day sales, it seems like a good time to ask: what is the purpose of all this consumption?
