Consumer Aspiration for ''control" help you create stuff people will buy.



We focus on ‘Control’, as one of the most powerful desires that drive us. If your company’s product or service provides consumers with some level of control over their lives, your product has the potential of becoming extremely desired. Why is control such a powerful human desire? Just think about how compelling the desire for control can be in our lives. We look to gain control every day. Control over our future, our finances, our jobs, our family, our relationships, and other significant areas in our lives help us control our stability, our emotions and our overall happiness. Think about the absence of control, and you will understand why it’s so important for us to obtain it. Chaos is something people fear and seek to avoid at all costs. The fear of the unknown, of being poor, disconnected, discontent, inconvenienced, unstable and unhappy drive us to find ways of gaining control. Companies that understand how their products and services provide control to the consumer will be able to harness this powerful desire and make strong emotional connections with consumers. So, how do you know if your company provides consumers with control? You need to focus on the consumer and get into their psyche. 
It has been discovered that ‘Control’ was a powerful human emotion for their client, Structure Development NW, a local custom homebuilder. Structure’s customers want a home tailored to meet their dreams. They earn a substantial amount of money in order to buy control over their future. They work hard in life so they can control their lifestyle. When they are looking to buy a custom home, therefore, they are not looking to buy a particular design style as much as they want to buy control over their lifestyle standards. 
If you believe your company provides consumers with control, then you need to start communicating to them with certain triggers that will connect with their desire for control. People who desire control can be somewhat demanding. You will need to understand their expectations more than any other customer. You will need to show them more details, more photos, more drawings, and more facts and figures. They will be hungry for more information, because they want reassurance of the control you offer. You will need to hold their hands in the process, give them progress reports, and deliver more than what they expect. You will be wise to provide them with referrals and testimonials in order to secure their business. Control is one of the strongest desires in life, and it can take the greatest efforts to connect with consumers who desire it. But the rewards are great because the desire is so strong.

Is Liberalism under attack?

I believe the answer may be yes. It's yes because two powerful states in Asia: China and Russia have consolidated authoritarian regime, that the end points may not be visible soon.  These two forces are working tirelessly to globalize oligarchy and authoritarianism. Their gospels has been noised abroad. Their influences influences have been displayed in some nations (with pseudo democracy) in the global south,  In Africa, liberal democracy have been badly weaken by the character of people in leadership: abuse of offices, stealing of public funds without questions and necessary punishments, plus rigging of presidential elections, leading to changing fortunes ànd quagmires. Beside, the curent hyper-inflation in Nigeria is blamed on the recent resurgence of Adams Smith and liberal economics doctrines (and partly by loyalty to Washington consensus: policies and insititios designed by the US government to globalize capitalism and it's associated cultural systems).

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online commu
