Overall, one in four said they would take more short breaks or holidays if their ‘ability to get time off when I need it’ improved. However, amongst full-time workers, getting leave emerged as a barrier for one in three. 16-34 year olds – want cheaper flights and festivals. Packages appeal particularly to the 50-64 year olds and white collar couples . And family tailored packages obviously of appeal. White collar professionals especially likely to be encouraged by ability to get time off work. Cheaper petrol would help for blue collar workers – and those outside metro areas.
To help us understand the language of archetypes we use fundamental model of psychology. These are the dimensions which underlie all human behaviour and provides a structure for interpreting archetypes. On the left the horizontal axis is about the need for affiliation and receptivity. The opposite of this on the right hand side is more about individuality and assertiveness. So the left is about the need to belong and feel part of things while the right is about the need to stand out. We can all identify with this concept and imagine where different personalities we know may sit on this spectrum. And we can relate this to products and brands – some brands give us a feeling of being part of things, others help us stand apart from the crowd and assert our individuality. The vertical axis divides the model into extroverted and introverted poles. The extroverted is more outward directed and the introverted more inward directed. In the marketing context brands that satisfy more extroverted needs make us feel free and liberated and brands which satisfy more introverted needs make us feel comforted or in control. As a result of using the framework this research identified 6 archetypes or emotive needs or 6 shades of green What I will do now is go through a few of the segments so that you can see how they differentiate but also how organisations have and can tap into them more effectively

In Australia, where TNS doesn’t measure the consumer confidence, we are seeing similar trends over the past year or so.
