7. Is Icom industry technological enough
to be patented?
The answer is YES.
You've probably seen the term -patent pending- many times on store products and other items.
Those wishing to patent inventions can do so through one of two types of applications:
provisional or non-provisional. In 1995, it became legal to file a provisional patent, which is a
lower-cost type of application in the US. It also helps give US patent filings more parity with
foreign applicants. No claim or oath is required for a provisional patent; it acts as a means to
file an early effective date and allows you to use the term, patent pending. Certain types of
patent filings do not have this option so check with the US Patent and Trademark Office
regarding your own invention claim.
After filing a provisional application, you have a certain grace period in which to file a non-
provisional one. Keep in mind, provisional patent filings are NOT examined on merits. A
'patent pending' claim on a product might deter competitors but, if it's later discovered that
your invention really isn't new, it's meaningless. In this case, you might even be infringing on
someone else's patent. So, do a thorough patent search to make sure your invention isn't
already patented by someone else before filing any type of patent application.
8. Icom industry recommendations for
the business
Icom industry recommendations are what Drives Icom Industry Business.
Here are some of the key recommendations:
1. Personal recommendations are the number one driver of consumer purchase decisions at every stage
in the purchase cycle across 10 product categories studied, from banking to vacation travel and from
subscription entertainment to retail categories, such as apparel and personal are products.
2. Recommendations are the #1 factor across all stages of the purchase cycle, from becoming initially
aware of a product right on through to the actual purchase decision. Other areas, such as advertising
or online sources of information, are important for one or another phase but not throughout. And
none are as important as recommendations. For example, advertising is important during the
awareness building phase, while online activity, such as price comparison websites, social media, or
ratings and review sites are important during the phase where consumers are deciding among several
options.
3. Over 8-in-10 purchases influenced by a recommendation are influenced by people talking face-to-
face. This is highly consistent with the theme of my new book, The Face-to-Face Book: Why Real
Relationships Rule in a Digital Marketplace, which argues that despite the tremendous intrigue
with online social networking sites, they represent only a small fraction of the way people really
communicate with each other. In the current study, we find that only 2% of purchases are influenced
by social media.
9. Icom industry recommendations for
the business (Contd)
4. The overwhelming majority of purchases that are swayed by recommendations are influenced by
either friends or family. Every category we studied, regardless of price point, was influenced by friends
and family rather than more expert sources of advice, such as sales people/clerks. Although “experts”
mattered more when seeking advice from others in technical categories, such as mortgages,
computers, and new cars, they were still overshadowed by friends and family when receiving advice.
5. Women are more likely to be influenced by a recommendation than men are, but
recommendations play a big role for both genders. This is consistent with a more
generalized finding that “women . . . dominate the conversations both online and offline. Not
only that, they seem to hold more influence when it comes to advice on purchasing decisions.”
The pivotal importance of recommendations should be a comforting fact for entrepreneurs and
small business owners, who often have close personal connections with their customers. Be
sure when you engage in a discussion with them to ask them if they would please recommend
you to their family and friends. You’ll be surprised how many will respond positively, and need
a little reminder to do so. Create opportunities for them to bring potential customers to meet
with you and other current or prospective customers face-to-face, where the majority of
recommendations take place. And by all means, please remember to thank your customers who
make recommendations on your behalf, and you might even consider an appropriate way to
reward them for doing so.
