  15. Challenging for marketers – do not trust outsiders, have small circle of friends, not materialistic, not likely to try new brands, overwhelmingly French Watch a lot of television (over 34 hours per week, lots of daytime TV) – natural medium of choice for advertisers seeking to communicate to them Use of trusted spokesperson or expert may help introduce new products, concepts Home products (cleaning, entertaining, home décor, organizing) a natural fit for these people Brand names of great importance, emphasize brand history/longevity if applicable, avoid “new and improved” Les “Petite Vie”Marketing Implications

  25. Crave instant gratification, have money to spend – will pay for hot trends, latest gadgets, need to feel ‘ahead of the curve’ (but not too far ahead) Prime targets for entertainment, sports-related products and equipment Brand names, reputations very important Advertising should take high moral ground (no nudity, poor taste) Seeking social status, want products that promote their sense of self-worth Up and Comers Marketing Implications

  27. Shifts in Canadian Attitudes

  28. Canadian society remains skewed toward passive approach to problem-solving – “Somebody should do something about that!” Family remains key to many segments – difference is in how family concerns are dealt with Religion still not a core value for many Canadians Tolerance, world concerns, intellectual curiosity tend to stay with you – “once a Joiner-Activist (almost) always a Joiner-Activist” Core Values Remain Constant

  29. Technology widening the gap between ‘passive’ and ‘active’, rich and poor Canadians – “knowledge is power” More international perspective emerging – support for international trade, interest in international news -- perhaps becoming less parochial? Time is today’s currency – very few groups do not want more leisure time, work/life balance shifting Canadians less satisfied with governments over time = lower expectations, lower respect for process Shifts in Canadian Thinking

  30. Any questions?
