Five Characteristics of an Innovation
Relative Advantage represents the perceived
superiority of an innovation over the current product or
solution it would replace. This advantage can take the
form of economic benefits to the adopter or better
performance.
Compatibility represents the perceived fit of an
innovation with a potential adopter's existing values,
know how, experiences, and practices.
Complexity describes the extent to which an innovation
is perceived to be difficult to understand or use. The
higher the degree of perceived complexity, the slower the
rate of adoption.

The Marketing and Sales Plan
Five Characteristics of an Innovation (cont.)
Trialability represents the extent to which a potential
adopter can experience or experiment with the
innovation before adopting it. The greater the trialability,
the higher the rate of adoption.
Observability represents the extent to which the
adoption and benefits of an innovation are visible to
others within the population of potential adopters. The
greater the visibility, the higher the rate of adoption by
those that follow.
