That's why throngs of people reserve the latest technology before it hits store shelves or wait in long lines to be the first to buy, own and experience. These early adopters, as described by Forrester Research, are primarily driven by three primary factors: risk taking (a desire for new experiences), information gathering (researching and sharing advice) and status seeking (social envy). Still, according to a new survey sponsored by Assurant Solutions, early adopters tend not to rely on Irish luck to protect their new purchases. At least 49 percent of respondents who consider themselves early adopters said they always purchase an extended warranty when offered. The sooner a consumer adopts new technology, the more likely they are to have purchased at least one warranty, the survey revealed. In fact, 91 percent of early adopters had purchased at least one warranty for consumer electronics or a major appliance, compared to 71 percent of early followers and 63 percent of those who wait to see how the technology performs. http://www.facebook.com/AssurantSolutionsSocial?sk=wall http://www.facebook.com/AssurantSolutionsSocial?sk=wall Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:27:00 GMT Join us in Barcelona via our Facebook page. http://www.assurantsolutions.com/media/news-articles/2012/med-news-02272012-t4.html http://www.assurantsolutions.com/media/news-articles/2012/med-news-02272012-t4.html Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:00:00 EST Assurant Solutions, a global specialty insurance and risk management company, today announces the results of its latest consumer survey on mobile trends.
