Does the new product meet diffusion criteria?

What are rogers variables?

  • Relative advantage: compared to alternative solutions
  • Compatibility: required 'change' or learning
  • Complexity: ease of use
  • Divisibility: trialability: taste, experience, proof
  • Communicability: observability: see the benefits

Forecasting: A-T-A-R model:

  • Awareness: who is aware of the product?
  • Trial: who wants the product?
  • Availability: who has access to the product?
  • Repeat: who wants to try the product again?
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
