In today’s blog post, we’ll look at what types of users are on the Internet and what your online marketing strategy means.
Digital Native Vs. Digital Immigrants: User behavior as a generational conflict
Probably the best known concept for describing the different behavior on the World Wide Web is the separation of users in „Digital Natives“ and „Digital Immigrants“.
A digital native is a person who is at trang chính in the digital world. This includes all the people who have been socialized since birth with Internet, e-mail, đoạn Clip games, mobile phones and instant messaging. The term was chracterised by its counterpart Digital Immigrant in 2001 by the educator and e-learning expert Marc Prensky. [1] According vĩ đại Prensky, the ubiquity of the Internet and technical tools for the post-1980s are fundamentally changing their way of thinking and the way they process information. Digital natives are accustomed vĩ đại receiving information very quickly and from anywhere, they are fans of multi-tasking, prefer graphics text, work best on a network and expect instant gratification and continuous rewards. This fundamental change in their way of working and thinking stands in contrast vĩ đại the digital immigrants, all those who grew up with a corded phone instead of a điện thoại thông minh. Prensky uses the metaphor of language as an illustration. Digital natives are native speakers of the land of the Internet and new technologies, while digital immigrants still have vĩ đại learn the language of the digital world – which is sometimes expressed in a „strong accent“: they print out e-mails and PDF documents or Gọi people vĩ đại the office vĩ đại show a trang web instead of simply sending the liên kết.
As a pedagogue, Prensky’s primary concern was vĩ đại find new ways for the teaching methods of „digitally immigrated“ teachers or professors vĩ đại reach their students who are at trang chính in the digital world. However, the concept of different digital skills and knowledge was quickly discovered for marketing. An example of this is the consumer’s need for more mobility: a digital immigrant would think about buying a classic siêu xe while the digital native downloads a car-sharing phầm mềm or UBER on his mobile phone.
Criticism of Prensky: User behavior is about more kêu ca the age
However, with the rising popularity of Prensky’s confrontation of the digital natives and immigrants, criticism of the thesis became louder. One of the main criticisms is that the age or the year of birth is insufficient as the main distinguishing criterion. In fact, a much more complex phối of factors determines whether and how PC, Internet and Co. are used. For example, non-use must not only be due vĩ đại a lack of skills, but may be due vĩ đại a value-based rejection or insufficient financial resources. This too simple classification omits an important social problem, the digital gap. Even Persky’s theses on the change of thought patterns, which goes sánh far as vĩ đại suppose that the grown up with the Internet and PCs generation have „developed physiologically altered brains“ is scientifically untenable.
A more differentiated distinction between online user types also makes sense for the simple reason that the group of digital immigrants logically gets smaller and smaller. So it’s getting more and more important not vĩ đại ask if the mạng internet and technology are used, but how. And the way that users use the Internet depends not only on their age, but also their socioeconomic position and their values and attitudes. In the next step, with digital sine milieus, we present an approach that seeks a holistic mô tả tìm kiếm of today’s user behavior in the network.
Digital Sinus Milieus of Internet users
The digital sinus milieus are a typology for digital user behavior. 6 different basic attitudes are distinguished, which result from the combination of the value and day-to-day world and the concrete surf behavior of the Internet user. The milieus combine a programmatic advertising approach in the sense of real-time user data with the basic values of the users. The goal is vĩ đại recognize the „people behind the user“ and play out perfectly tailored advertising nội dung.[3]

- Careful: The cautious still approach the digital world. Although they certainly use the mạng internet for price comparisons, the exchange of images or for navigation, they are often below the group average of online presence.

Digital messages for this type of Internet user should therefore be formulated in the best down-to-earth, harmonious and user-oriented way.
- Efficient: The group of efficient Internet users sees above all a tool in the network that makes their everyday work easier. They book trips or tickets online, use digital navigation, compare and research, or keep up vĩ đại date with trang web news.

They also expect this from digital communication: Messages should be precise and concise without being too manipulative or persuasive.
- Effort: The group of the endeavored Internet users tries vĩ đại participate within the scope of their possibilities in the digital society. In this group, the average age is highest, but also financial resources are often the reason for the lack of opportunity vĩ đại participate.

They are very often online and music, gaming and travel are their main online topics. You can find them mainly in social networks, on entertainment websites or streaming service providers. They are expecting direct, uninhibited messages that surprise them. Here, entertaining nội dung such as Memes und GIFs is more requested kêu ca the classic brand slogan
- Sovereigns: The sovereigns speak the „language of the Internet“ and phối trends on and offline – they are the digital avant-garde. This group is almost permanently online and of course digital is a part of everyday life. They are highly networked and mentally, culturally and geographically mobile.
