Key Finding 5:Six consumer needs drive the majority of this activity
Six consumer needs drive the majority of this activity… Belonging Connecting Sharing Self Expression Extended Enjoyment Control & Convenience
Connecting Connect with contestants / talent Find out about background & heritage An emotional connection with people on screen Video clips, diaries, ‘bloopers’, voting Twitter, Facebook “Jon and Edward (They) started following me on Twitter, so I followed them back. …It feels like they’re kind of talking to you, you feel involved. That’s mostly the reason why I do it.” Female X Factor viewer, London, teens
Belonging This programme helps me feel part of a group Shared ‘banter’, staying in the loop, being part of the national debate WOM, email, phone, print, radio, social media “I like X Factor, I like to watch it. But I am not a fanatic fan... When the family is interested, you like it more as you want to be interested in the same things as them”. Male X Factor viewer, Birmingham (46)
Self Expression Show who I support Show what I think I want to tell people who I am and what I’m all about Facebook & Twitter: joining groups, commenting in status, Twibbons or badges
Sharing Enjoying a passion shared with friends & family WOM, email, SMS, phone, email links e.g. to clips Deconstruct events, gossip, sharing relevant content “If Liverpool are losing I know I’ll always get a text from my brother, just to wind me up” Male, football fan, York 30s “If I don’t have my friends over, it’s messaging on my Blackberry. It’s to share the experience, because it’s quite boring by yourself.” Female X Factor viewer, London, 24
Extended Enjoyment Chatting with friends, reliving key moments, previewing the big event I can’t wait for it to start. I don’t want it to stop Xtra Factor, The F Factor, online video clips, official website previews, newspapers, radio
Key Finding 6:The relative importance of these needs can change during the day, week or series
The relative importance of these needs can change during the series…Example: The X Factor After Live shows (final stages) Boot Camp Judges’ Houses Live shows (early stages) Auditions PVRs and ITV Player. Highest after Boot Camp; decreases in final stages Control Mostly online clips driven by contestant engagement and ‘big moments’ Extended Enjoyment Fairly constant. Mostly WOM and Print. Social Media & Radio ‘buzz’ in latter stages. Belonging Self Expression Gathers real momentum once live shows start. Mostly Social Media. Sharing Emailed links to clips in early stages. SMS/IM/Twitter in latter stages. Connecting Gathers real momentum from Judges’ houses. Online clips, print, social media etc.
