Consumer Advocacy's Effect on the Modern Business
by Robert Jellison
It's been said that in today's money-centric world if you want a voice, you vote with your dollar. With an increase of businesses moving into the waters of conglomeration while rallying like-minded money that will comparable causes which are "good for business," it's not easy to try to make ones words be considerably more than a drop of water landing inside a ocean of opinion. The fact remains, nevertheless, that we the customer are (naturally) the life-giver of this economy. Undoubtedly we consumers could conglomerate also, correct? Surely we are able to band together to discover beneficial scenarios to the (gasp) general public?
Enter buyer advocacy. If our money go to firms that then employ that dollar to lobby to get laws on capital hill then one can easily discern that yes, we do in fact vote with our dollar. By way of schooling ourself with merchandise origins, business methods, and so on we can properly pick exactly what businesses stick around and which of them do not. We also affect conduct, in the event that I'm a business and i also know I'm being observed - I'm more likely to keep my grubby fingers out from the cookie jar so to speak.
The action of consumer advocacy is no new notion, nonetheless it seems to be a tool that may be starting to become understood by the public. Numerous cultural movements have used consumer advocacy as a tool for several years, but only now is it reaching a critical mass that's reinventing the standard business design.
Philanthropy is now an advertising instrument - and for good reason. If a company like Enlighten Natural Candles, who gives 25% of all of its revenue to charity, will get more business because of their philanthropic conduct then this is a good thing. It shows our collective ethic, which would seem very much to be trending up. Those of us parked in front of the T.V. might not notice it, but the Web community certainly does.
So do I purchase sneakers from a business that knowingly exploits employees, or from Toms who gives a pair away for each pair sold? Should I purchase a automobile from a producer which knowingly suppresses technological innovation that might enhance safety and be more efficient or a vehicle from Tesla Motors who is approaching our oil dependence using brute innovation? I think the correct answer is clear, the burden is on the shoulders of the consumer to hold business's feet towards the flames. Make your dollar matter.
