Implementing Interactive and Multichannel Marketing, and Integrated Marketing Communications and Direct Marketing

When reading Chapter 17, I learned about how that there are six reasons consumers shop and buy online, which are convenience, choice, customization, communication, cost, and control. Marketers have capitalized on these reasons through a variety of means. This was very interesting to read about and helped me understand they provide choice assistance using choiceboard and collaborative filtering technology.


When reading Chapter 18, I learned about how the communication process conveys messages with six elements, which are a source, a message, a channel of communication, a receiver, and encoding and decoding, and how the communication process also includes a feedback loop. Reading about this was interesting to me and it was nice to learn all about the elements used in integrated marketing communications and everything about direct marketing.

My Experiences With Understanding Consumer Behavior, Understanding Organizations as Customers, and Understanding and Reaching Global Consumers and Markets

When I worked on this weeks assignment I wasn't aware of the consumer purchase decision process in Chapter 5 and how it consists of five stages, problem recognition, information search, alternative evaluation, purchase decision, and post purchase behavior. It was just one of those things I didn't really think about until now. When I got to Chapter 6, I learned that there are three different organizational markets , which are industrial, reseller, and government. It was fascinating reading about all the different markets and how they operate. It must take a lot of work to keep all that together. When I got to Chapter 7, I got to learn all about how a global perspective on world trade views exports and imports as complementary economic flows, which are a country's imports affect its exports and exports affect its imports. It was really interesting to read how all that worked. I loved doing the questions on Chapter 7 the most, really interesting information about Japan an

When I want to make a purchase on something, I think. what do I want? Do I want something that's related to my hobbies, like wrestling or video games? Do I need to buy anything like Fathers Day gifts? Do I want to buy something at a discount at the store I work at? When I want to purchase something related to my hobbies, 9 times out of 10 I will go to Amazon to see if they have what I'm looking for. Its usually things like toys to collect or a video game accessory that would look nice to own.  If I wanted to wait and buy something at my store, something like vitamins or things my family wants while I'm there, then I would buy those things with the employee discount I have.

The Final WebLog

When I got to Chapter 7, I got to learn all about how a global perspective on world trade views exports and imports as complementary economic flows, which are a country's imports affect its exports and exports affect its imports. It was really interesting to read how all that worked. I loved doing the questions on Chapter 7 the most, really interesting information about Japan and how an American commercial wouldn't be as successful in Japan like it would in America. While reading Chapter 10, I learned that f rom the important perspective of the consumer, newness is often seen as the degree of learning that a consumer must engage in to use the product. With continuous innovation, no new behaviors must be learned. With dynamically continuous innovation, only minor behavioral changes are needed. With a discontinuous innovation, consumers must learn entirely new consumption patterns.  I never thought of it that way, so this was a new learning experience for me. While reading
