EPIDEMIC AND RULES OF CONTAGIOUS
A function of the people who transmit infection agent in appropriated environment
1. THE LAW OF FEW "The success of any kind of social epidemic is
heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a rare set of social gifts."
80/20 Principle : a tiny percentage of people do the majority of the work.
The classic brush-suede shoes became popular. A handful of kids then spread to two Fashion designers.
Law of Few depends on 3 kinds of people
1. THE LAW OF FEW
A. THE CONNECTORS They are a handful of people who know
many people thru their amazing social skills.
The handful kids and the Fashion designers were the connectors for hush puppies.
People SpecialistsSpecial gift of bondingKnow many peopleSocial Connections
Acquaintances Occupy different worlds“Weak tie”
Trendsetters
A. THE CONNECTORS
Mavens are the Market.
Love sharing information with other people. They are Information Specialists and problem solvers.
Mavens are the Data Banks and provides the Message.
B. THE MAVENS
Persuaders.
Beyond words, but character traits that impact others: charisma, body language etc.
Persuasion often works in ways that we do not appreciate.
C. THE SALESMEN
HAVE THE RIGHT MIX There is a narrow line between an epidemic
that tips and one that does not Know who the best recipient is to spread the
message.
Messages at the bottom of the television often goes unread, However, the ones in the center are always read and remembered.
Stickiness means that a message makes an impact and doesn’t go in one ear and out the other.
The message must have right timing and have the right context. Recipient needs to become a participant, not just an audience.
Sesame Street TV program had the stickiness factor which made the children glue to their TV sets and learn.
2. THE STICKINESS FACTOR
PACKAGE IT RIGHT The content and packaging of a
message needs to be rightMessage must be replaced and tweaked
several times before tiny changes cause the message to become sticky
Must entice, not repel, to look deeperWe tend to act on things that are personnel
The Present You must use strategic foresightNew ways of communicating must be found
Epidemics are sensitive to the conditions and circumstances of the times and places in which they occur- the context.
New-york Crime rate dropped by changing the context. Graffiti was the center of criminal achievements, hence they decided to break the context for crime.
3. THE POWER OF CONTEXT
THE MAGIC NUMBER 150 The Maximum Amount of Friends that we can
stay actively connected are 150.
Brain is hardwired to pay attention to about 150 people.
The larger the neo-cortex, the larger the group you associate with.
The ones you would feel most comfortable with You would come uninvited for a drink
Any increase in the 150 creates a burden
