Tribe Marketing

When forming an opinion about a company, people are traditionally influenced by their environment. Studies show that reference groups have a stronger influence on Chinese consumers than that on their Western counterpart. Tribe affiliation becomes dominant over individual preferences, and this is especially noticeable when observing younger consumers.

A tribe is a small group of consumers who share common interests and interact with each other on social media. Therefore, tribe marketing is a marketing strategy that leverages the social behavior of certain groups of consumers in order to promote goods or services.
