What you'll learn:

You’re a customer. What type of phone do you have? Which brand of coffee do you drink? What shampoo do you use? What make and model of car did you ride in or drive? Why do you buy the things you buy? Eat where you eat? There’s one word that helps make these decisions: Marketing.

In this course you will explore the role that customers play in today’s marketing efforts and learn how companies segment the market to better target potential customers. You’ll also get an introduction to the mix of marketing components a company can use to achieve its sales goals.
