Diffusion of Innovation
How new ideas and products spread through a population is described by the
theory of "diffusion of innovation" (Rogers, 2003).
From an adoption perspective, there are five adopter categories: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. Certain groups are more or less open to
trying new things than others.(Schiffman & Kanuk, 2010)
The categories of "early adopters" and "early majority" are particularly applicable to the people AGL hopes to sell solar energy goods to. These groups include those who are
more open to trying new things, who have higher socioeconomic statuses, and who have higher levels of education (Rogers, 2003).
=> AGL can create marketing campaigns that specifically appeal to these groups, showcasing how solar power can help them save money, help the environment, and provide
them energy independence. (Schiffman & Kanuk, 2010).
RECOMMENDATION 2:
Work with early adopters to promote uptake using the ubiquity of innovation theory, then co-create new
goods using region-linked advertising to build trust.

work with and involve early adopters in the co-creation process.
Collaboration and co-creation help build strong relationships with early
adopters and provide valuable feedback for product development and
marketing strategies ( Bhalla, 2011).
Partnering with family-oriented organizations, such as parent-teacher
associations or community centers, can promote the adoption of sustainable
energy solutions, such as solar energy.
Collaborating with such organizations can provide access to a wider audience
and tap into the social networks and influence of families within these groups.
Partnering with trusted and reputable organizations can enhance the
credibility and trustworthiness of a business's brand.
