3. Individual choice rising

   

     The rise of individual choice and the fracturing of the mass market can be attributed to a variety of social, economic, and technological factors. In the past, in an attempt to maximize profits, goods and services were frequently created and promoted using a one-size-fits-all strategy, aiming for large audiences. But people are looking more and more for goods and services that meet their unique needs and preferences as society has grown more diverse and connected. Technological advancements have increased this trend by making it simpler for customers to access a variety of options and personalize their experiences.

    Consumer preferences are becoming more diverse, which is one major factor contributing to the rise of individual choice. With the world becoming more interconnected by the day, customers can now choose from a greater selection of goods and services to fit their individual needs and preferences. Customers can now choose from a wide range of dietary options, such as gluten-free or vegan diets, and a variety of clothing styles and sizes to suit their body types. The mass market has become more fragmented as a result of this personalized approach since businesses now need to serve numerous niche markets to stay competitive.

    Technological advancements have also played a significant role in the rise of individual choice and the fracturing of the mass market. Customers can now obtain information and reviews about goods and services from a variety of sources thanks to the internet and social media, which helps them make better purchasing decisions. E-commerce platforms have further contributed to the fragmentation of the mass market by making it simpler for customers to order niche products that might not be easily found in their local stores.

    There are advantages and disadvantages for consumers and businesses as a result of the growing popularity of individual choice and the fragmentation of the mass market. On the one hand, consumers can find goods and services that better suit their needs and preferences and have access to more options than ever before. Businesses now face more competition, which drives them to innovate and set themselves apart from the competition to draw in and keep clients. Consumers may find it overwhelming to deal with the mass market's fragmentation, though, as they are presented with a plethora of options and information that may complicate their decision-making.

    In conclusion, the rise of individual choice and the fracturing of the mass market is a complex phenomenon that is driven by a variety of social, economic, and technological factors. Although this trend has given customers more control over their purchasing decisions, it has also presented difficulties for companies trying to negotiate a market that is becoming more and more fragmented. Businesses will need to adjust and welcome these changes to stay competitive in an era of customized consumption as technology progresses and consumer preferences shift.

1. My worst customer service experience!!!

    As you all know, I am Vietnamese and I celebrate Lunar New Year or we call it "Tet". On the first day of Tet, we give and receive lucky money to wish all the best for children and parents. This year is the first time I have celebrated Tet far from home without my family, so I sent lucky money to my parent and my sister through the sending money app online. And my nightmare starts from there.      My friend and I have used Taptapsend, a mobile app for sending money worldwide for years, and it worked very well. We sent and received money from Finland to Canada to Vietnam in just a second. It is very convenient and confidential, and I have never had any trouble with the app. Until this Lunar New Year.      I sent money back to Vietnam directly to my parent's bank account. At first, it was pending for 2 days, I just thought it was because of the banking server. Then the app showed that my money was successfully sent to my parent. But they have not received anything at all
