LATE MAJORITY
The last majority group, roughly 34% of the total population, who will adopt a new product or an innovative technology. The people who belong to this group are usually older, less educated, belong to below-average socioeconomic status, and embrace innovations only when forced. These persons rely on recommendations from relatives, friends, and neighbors; they don’t let advertisements sway them.
