Das Trendforschungsnetzwerk Trendwatching.com hat ein interessantes, 20-seitiges Papier zum Thema “Customer made” veröffentlicht, also “Customer made”-Produkte, -Inhalte, -Marketing, usw..

Darin wird “Customer made” definiert als:

“The phenomenon of corporations creating goods, services and experiences in close cooperation with experienced and creative consumers, tapping into their intellectual capital, and in exchange giving them a direct say in (and rewarding them for) what actually gets produced, manufactured, developed, designed, serviced, or processed.”

Gezeigt werden Beispiele aus dem Bereich DIY-Werbung, Produktentwicklung, Kommunikation und Vertrieb.

Die Frage, warum Kunden so etwas tun sollten (also, Energie aufzuwenden, eigentlich den Job anderer, gut bezahlter Menschen zu machen), beantworten die Trendforscher so:

• “Status: people love to be seen, love to show off their creative skills and thinking.
• Bespoke lifestyle: something consumers have been personally involved in should guarantee goods, services and experiences that are tailored to their needs.
• Cold hard cash: getting a well deserved reward or even a profit cut for helping a company develop The Next Big Thing is irresistible.
• Employment: in an almost ironic twist, CUSTOMER-MADE is turning out to be a great vehicle for finding employment, as it helps companies recruit their next in-house designer, guerrilla advertising agency or brilliant strategist.
• Fun and involvement: there’s pleasure and satisfaction to be derived from making and creating, especially if co-creating with brands one loves, likes or at least feels empathy for?”

Gut finde ich diesen Absatz so ziemlich am Ende des Dokuments:

“Bloggers, journalists, editors: Feel free to publish part or all of these trends at your convenience. As long as you properly name, credit and link the source, www.trendwatching.com, we’re happy.”

Hiermit geschehen.
