High-tech marketing must focus on the technology enthusiasts in order to get enough initial attention to cross the chasm.
Crossing The Chasm
Marketing And Selling Disruptive Products To Mainstream Customers
About this book
Crossing the Chasm (1991; rev. 1999) demonstrates the existence of distinct marketing challenges for each market segment in the life cycle of new technology-based products. A significant gulf -- the "chasm" -- exists between the market made up of early adopters and the markets of more pragmatic buyers. To cross the chasm, a product team must identify the needs of pragmatic buyers and deliver a "whole product" that more than meets those needs. This landmark book, part of the HarperBusiness Essentials series, shows just how to do that.
