Predictions: 2015 is the Year of the Customer

0
0

Power is shifting from vendors and institutions to customers, citizens, employees and stakeholders. Web and mobile-based transparency, and social media reduces the asymmetric information gap. Get ready for the "crowd" effect that has toppled governments.

Storified by Doug Hadden · Sun, Jan 11 2015 19:21:37

There is some difference in opinion among leading analysts on whether it's the year of the crowd, year that marketers win, year that the crowd realizes what marketers are up to, year of the customer. Nevertheless, there is something happening in the shift to customer power. Maybe there is still some marketing mojo left for large organziations, but the trend is shifting.
Observers seem to have different definitions from what "the year of the customer" means that range from using big data to better target customers (leveraging the asymmetric information gap) to becoming more customer-centric in product and service design. Here are some of the main themes for 2015:
1. Ethics and corporate social responsibility will become critical for business and government alike. Organizations will no longer be able to hide supply chain issues like underpaid workers, sustainability issues like pollution, or immoral competitive practices. Unethical uses for "big data" will be under the spotlight. 2015 will be all about trust and authenticity. Organizations will be under more pressure to be transparent.
Confidence Level: Very High
Persistence: Increasing over time - to 2020 and beyond

Concerns Raised Over #PCUSA 2015 Campaign #NotMyOGHS

0
0

In early December an announcement was made about the 2015 One Great Hour of Sharing Marketing Campaign from the Special Offerings office of the Presbyterian Church (USA). Concerns have been raised.

Storified by Bruce Reyes-Chow · Sun, Jan 11 2015 19:21:43

UPDATED: Jan 11, 2015 11:21 AM PST
Some folks may be wondering why, I shared a little bit about why this #NotMyOGHS controversy is important for me as a Presbyterian.
And with the #NotMyOGHS hashtag in full effect . . .
I posted in various places and while not everyone saw the problem with the marketing, the concerns raised have been overwhelming. Here are just a few of the comments. There are over 150 comments on the FB posting, so please take some time to offer your own thoughts there or other venues.
Contact info is at the bottom of this story if you would like to make your concerns known to denominational staff.

I honestly like the edginess of it. But I also know many people who have struggled with substance abuse that find the church to be a safe place. If I were one of those people, walking in and seeing my community belittle that in this way would make me feel less safe and comfortable. As someone who hasn't struggled with those issues - but knows some who have - it would make me very uncomfortable to sit in a pew next to them while the congregation makes light of their struggles.

So...lack of clean water is her individual problem? No. She is thirsty and puts her life at risk when she drinks dirty water. I hate the trend. Some use the term food-insecure instead of hungry. No! And I have a problem with marketing that would allow a quick reader to land on the thought that this child is an addict. Just sighing over her...

Cheryl Biller, my emotional reaction is because the images are racist and they further perpetuate the pathologization of black and brown bodies. In addition, people have raised very important concerns about how it references substance abuse. For a denomination that is 92% white, with a history of structural racism, and very recent concerns about how it addresses (or doesn't address) these issues, the PCUSA is nowhere close to having any credibility for pursuing this type of "edgy" campaign. For the Special Offerings Committee and others to receive feedback (particularly from poc) and decide that they know better, is hubris and an example of the racism that those of us raising concerns are talking about. To get anywhere near the ability to consider this type of campaign REQUIRES a confession of the sin of racism and white privilege AND repentance (turning around). And sadly, that seems to be too much for some of us to ask.

I have been trying to put my frustration and anger into words for the past couple of hours now since first seeing this campaign. I personally feel like this is the second time I am burned by my denomination for fundraising purposes. Back around 2006 a photo of my son was used making him poster child for a Hearts and Hands campaign, but it wasn't with me. It was a photo taken with a friend and the implied picture was that she was a poor brown teenage mom that your dollars were going support. Now we have poor brown people needing help with the stereotypes of druggies. Perhaps we need to just expand the campaign with pictures of old white people with bold "Doesn't have a clue of how racist they are" with tiny print "and doesn't want to know".

One of the concerns raised is that this was designed by an agency that was not affiliated with the church, so there is something missing in terms of theological grounding. No one claims the church does market well, but when completely outsourced, these kinds of controversies are inevitable.

Athletes & Chiropractic Care

If you are a serious athlete or even someone who dabbles in exercise, chiropractic care may be the best avenue for optimizing wellness & preventing or rehabilitating injury.

Storified by MonroevilleDC · Mon, Jan 12 2015 19:20:04

Journey with the chiropractor Monroeville prefers - Michael Pirollo - through the do's and do not's of injury rehabilitation and body awareness. This information will benefit athletes and active individuals alike. Begin with this video:
Best Chiropractor in town - Dr. Michael Pirollo D.C. Monroeville, PA (412) 372-4192 · drmichaelpirollo
Now that you know a bit more about what chiropractic care has to offer for active lifestyles, consider this: Chiropractors can provide not only a safe, effective plan and program for injury rehab, but also a preventative locus of knowledge which can prevent further injury on the court, field, slopes, track, trail or wherever you do your worst.
Consider this, too: Injuries sustained during athletic activity or sporting events are typically and statistically more likely to endure, not healing over time but instead simply becoming part of the athlete's limitations throughout his or her life.
We reject this! The chiropractic community shudders when patients present with a condition that they feel they must "live with," "deal with," or "accept." This is simply false! The truth is that with chiropractic care and making good choices in your daily life, you can overcome the defeat of an injury and get back on your path to wellness. For more information on rehabilitating athletic injury through chiropractic care, consider this Quora post:
