This course provides practical techniques for measuring everything from brand equity to social media, market share to email performance. For each metric, students gain insight into the real-world pros, cons, and tradeoffs—and help learners understand what the numbers really mean. Students learn how to design and interpret marketing dashboards to identify emerging opportunities and risks, and use powerful modeling techniques to optimize every decision made. This course provides students with the opportunity for a rigorous and comprehensive discussion of the latest web, online, social, and email metrics, helping marketing professionals navigate today’s many new metrics to gain usable and trustworthy information.
This course provides students an inside view of Internet marketing strategically, bring together marketing, sales and operations functions that were previously separate and siloed, and systematically capture and apply data to drive dramatic improvements in performance. Students will explore ways to implement a more iterative,
measurable, and repeatable approach to Internet marketing, gain better information about which online strategies are working best, deliver better-qualified leads to sales, build an “online sales engine” to track every customer relationship from the very outset – and, above all, grow profits. Students learn how to use metrics and data analysis far more effectively to inform adjustments in both long-term strategy and short-term tactics.
This course builds on theory to provide students with a usable, strategic understanding of consumer behavior that acknowledges recent changes in internal and external influences, global marketing environments, and the
discipline overall. Students explore an in-depth introduction to theories and models of how individual consumers, family units, and companies make buying decisions. Each step in the continuous decision cycle is covered in detail, in such models of consumer behavior as the high and low involvement models, information processing and attitude formation and change. Relevant psychological concepts related to behavioral economics, personality and lifestyle, self-concept, cognition and classical vs. operant conditioning are also covered. Students also gain valuable perspective on how purchase decisions are made in their own households.
