Content

Consumers lie at the heart of the marketing exchange, so understanding how they think, feel, and respond to the world around them is essential for developing marketing strategies that work. This unit consequently explores some of the psychological, social, and cultural processes that make consumers ‘tick’ and shows how knowledge of these processes can be used to better market both new and existing products and services.
