[Marketing] OpenID market segmentation

[Brian Kissel]

Good question Nat, I didn't have a specific number in mind, but suspect that the balance between easy access and security/trust/reputation for buying a $1 mp3 download is different than buying a $5000 diamond online, so the RPs for those categories might have different requirements.  I'm certainly open to any suggestions, and it may not be a hard dollar number but some other criteria that distinguishes between the two segments.

Cheers,

Brian

What is the dollar value that makes a transaction "Not Low Value"?
Is it US$100? Or $1000? Or ...

We are probably all now agreed that the OpenID message resonates differently with different market segments. For example, OpenID has significant market share for blog commenting and it's relatively easy to make the case there, but it has zero market share so far for banking where today, nobody (I've heard of) thinks that OpenID is a solution.

Would it make sense for the marketing committee to attempt to categorize existing OpenID adoption -- perhaps using the categories that Brian suggested below -- and summarize why those adopters did or did not adopt, and what the obstacles are in each of those categories? Over time, this could perhaps be augmented by some systematic customer research that the foundation should be performing (sub-contracting) -- at least I would make the argument that it should.

Personally I think it would be useful to inform our own planning within the foundation, and perhaps focus and simplify our message and focus.

Cheers,


Johannes.

While not suggesting more "official" segmentations, to address adoption and the sequencing of OIDF outreach, our thoughts are that it may evolve as follows:

*         User generated content (blogs, wikis, discussion groups, etc.) - today
*         Media content sites (newspapers, magazines, broadcast and cable TV, radio, sports, etc.)
*         Affinity group sites (boy scouts, little league, corp and academic alumni associations)
*         Light duty partner federation (non-commerce)
*         Low dollar value commerce
*         More sensitive categories (banking, high value commerce, healthcare, govt related personal information)

The only segmentation we have thought of so far is:
        OPs
        RP business
        RP technical
        Users

I think any more then that is premature at this point in time.
