Editor's Notes

  1. Teacher Notes - Knowing who you are selling to will help you identify what methods will be most productive in reaching (features, promotion, selling price, etc.) A customer buys a product, where a consumer uses it EX: School district buys computers, desks for students to use EX: Parent buys child clothes, a toy An Influencer is someone who may not buy a product themselves, but does encourage the purchase to be made EX: 60% of all tweens today have substantially influenced their parents final decision on which car to buy https://www.democraticmedia.org/sites/default/files/The-Next-Generation-of-Consumers.pdf The Decision Maker does exactly as this title implies, although another individual may be physically completing the transaction EX: Accounting department (decision maker) may authorize a purchase to be made by a salesperson
