Thanks to the rise of the Internet, the advent of recordable television, and other consumer-driven platforms... it's clear that the consumer revolution is well underway. As a result, people are relying less on marketing messages to make decisions, and relying more on each other.
vhibe is a unique new community that harnesses the power of that word-of-mouth communication - bringing consumers and marketers together in a way never before possible.
vhibe not only allows companies direct access to the people who are most interested in new product or services (you can call them vhibers,) but also provides an open, honest forum for feedback from these consumers and their friends.
And as for our name: Basically we help introduce new products and services in Hawaii and help gauge consumer reactions - or vibe. "Vibe" + "Hawaii" = vhibe.
Essentially we act as a liaison between a variety of companies and their ultimate customers. In ways never before possible, we facilitate conversation between these companies and the people who actually use their product or service. Openly. Honestly. Easily.
- 1. We find the vhibers.
- People selected to become vhibers complete a detailed self-profile upon joining our community.
- 2. vhibe clients select a vhibe tribe.
- Using the self-profiles provided by our vhibers, our clients choose a range of candidates.
- 3. vhibers choose to participate.
- Once identified by a client as candidates, vhibers choose whether or not they wish to participate in the particular project.
- 4. vhibers get to know the product.
- vhibers get first hand knowledge of a product by using it and asking any upfront questions or sharing initial feedback. vhibe shares their feedback with clients so they can act on it.
- 5. vhibers spread the word.
- Through informal conversations and trials with friends and peers, vhibers tell others about the product and encourage them to try it too.
- 6. vhibers report back to us.
- vhibers register their impressions of the product and report their interactions. By reporting their experiences and peer feedback, vhibers provide honest, unfiltered consumer insight.
