This PPT slide, part of the 67-slide Business Slides Reference Pack PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for understanding pricing strategies in relation to the product lifecycle, highlighting key customer segments and their characteristics. It divides the market into distinct phases: Early Adopters, Chasm, Early Majority, Late Majority, and Laggards.

Early Adopters are characterized as a niche group that is less sensitive to price, often driven by specific needs within specialized markets (e.g., COXX and MetXX). They are willing to invest early, but represent a small segment of the overall market. The slide emphasizes the critical transition across the Chasm, where a company must effectively shift its pricing strategy to appeal to a broader audience, capturing the Early Majority, which constitutes a larger portion of the market.

The Early Majority consists of pragmatic customers who prioritize safety and efficiency. They are more price-sensitive and typically wait until a product has proven its value before making a purchase. This group is crucial for achieving significant sales volume.

As the product matures, the Late Majority enters, characterized by conservative buying behavior and a tendency to invest only when products are well-established. They are also influenced by competitive offerings, often opting for “me-too” products. Finally, Laggards are the last to adopt, often resistant to change and driven by necessity rather than desire.

The slide underscores the importance of developing a pricing strategy that not only captures early adopters, but also effectively transitions into the majority market. This strategic approach is vital for sustaining revenue growth and maintaining a premium position in the market.
