Description

This IDC Market Perspective draws on findings from our Consumer Brand Sentiment Survey to examine generational differences in platform engagement and brand sentiment. The Social Security Administration's potential move to X underscores a broader marketing fact: your message is only as strong as your audience's ability and willingness to receive it. Generational differences in platform engagement and sentiment highlight the critical need for segmentation in any communications strategy. Understanding which platforms resonate with which audiences is no longer optional; it's foundational."Effective communication isn't simply about reaching the most people, it's about reaching the right people, in the right place, at the right moment," says Kelly Brown, research manager for Consumer Markets at IDC. "Marketers must be willing to tailor their platform strategy to the preferences and digital behaviors each generation exhibits if they want their message to land with impact."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
