From the Paper:
"As it has been mentioned throughout the introductory part, marketing endeavors have come to play a pivotal part in the ultimate success of any business effort. Marketing represents the means by which customers become familiarized with the product, generate a demand for the company's item and purchase it, to create organizational revenues. Marketing also represents the means by which the company communicates with and enlarges its customer base. It can easily be argued that statistics is pivotal in the success of marketing efforts mostly due to the major increase in not only the volume, but also the complexity of the data available within the market, data which cannot either wise be efficiently processed without the support of statistics (Rossi and Allenby, 2000)."The examples of how marketing specialists use statistics to sustain the business goals of the organization are endless. For instance, the marketing department at Nestle could be presented with the necessity to create a campaign for whole wheat cereal for children. The endeavor would be part of a strategy of increasing awareness of what we eat, but it is clear that the task is a difficult one. In approaching its chore, the marketing department would assess information on the past campaigns and their success rates. Then, it would create a new campaign and test it onto a relevant sample of children and parents. The results of the testing would be collected and assessed in order to tell the company which sections of the campaign should be improved, which should be maintained and so on."
