Effective marketing requires an understanding of the prospective buyers\u2019 buying process (i.e., purchase decision process). Choose a recent purchase decision you made to use as an example. Distinguish the stages of the buying process and explain the key issues of each stage as they relate to your experience.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Buyers experience many situational influences during the buying process. Using the same experience you chose for Question 1, analyze the types of situational influences you experienced and explain how those factors affected your buying process and ultimate purchase decision.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Marketers use several segmentation categories and various variables within each category when segmenting prospective markets. Thinking about the buying experience you described in Questions 1 and 2, which segmentation categories and variables may have been relevant for the marketing organization\u2019s segmentation? Identify the specific categories and variables and construct a target audience profile (one that may approximate how that organization described you and others in your segment).<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Of the segmentation categories (i.e., segmentation bases), compare their relative value for marketing organizations. Which do you believe to be most valuable for marketers now and in the future? Explain.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Consumer advocates criticize marketers\u2019 reliance on segmentation because segmentation analyses utilize personal data and represent an abuse of personal privacy.

Discuss your position and propose guidelines marketers could use to benefit from segmentation analyses while protecting and respecting consumer privacy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
