The Death of Demographics
Marketers have always believed demographics and psychographics held the key to influencing consumer behavior. If only we knew enough about someone-their age, gender, purchase history, favorite brands-we could impact what they do. But that isn't true at all. Today we know these systems are a terrible way to understand who people are. Nobody acts their age anymore, and tracking past behavior doesn't tell us what will work now.Valuegraphics change everything.By focusing on deep values rather than surface habits or traits, valuegraphics uncover what drives and unites us. Based on decades of behavioral science research, adding valuegraphics to your insights can improve your marketing effectiveness by a factor of eight or more. Learn how to find the valuegraphics of your target audience and create powerful values-driven strategies that excite and engage them. Discover why demographic profiles are dangerously inaccurate, and walk step-by-step through the process of becoming a values-driven organization. In a DIY format that's quick and easy to use, The Death of Demographics will show you what global B2B and B2C brands have already discovered: that the secret to engaging your target audience is to know what they value. Because what we value determines what we do.

Intense Group Behavior and Brand Negativity
In previous books, the author has investigated rivalry in the context of sport and non-sport settings. This book investigates how rivalry and group member behavior manifests in the setting of politics, religion, and sport, three settings of intense group member bias.

Incorporating research from marketing, psychology, political science, and sociology, this book offers researchers in several fields a new understanding of how setting and group membership influences the ways people view and behave toward out-groups.

Social Influence - Influencing Minds to Guide Behavior
Social influence has been defined as the ability to change individual behavior (intentionally or unintentionally). This behavioral change can be the result of how individuals perceive their relationship with other individuals, groups and key influencers. As with all forms of persuasion, including traditional advertising, marketing, and political campaigning, individual behavior has always been influenced. Unfortunately, the growing weaponization of social media creates a clear and present danger to our ability to rationally call our decision-making our own. Most importantly, this is an increasing challenge to future generations as they are seemingly indoctrinated at birth. What does the future hold? This book provides an illustration of how social media has grown in its ability to motivate behavior with both positive and negative impacts. It also assesses how influence can be amplified with coordinated in-person (non-social media) group gatherings and interactions with standard media platforms (television and radio). These combined relationships create a powerful social interaction tool with the ability to emotionally connect, engage and drive the behavior of individuals and consumers. The author highlights the psychological underpinnings of these methods. These insights help to explain how individuals within certain social and consumer networks can have such strong affinities to campaign and marketing messages.

This book is based on 7 years of management theories and legal education with 18 years of field observations about Sales.

It is also based on field experiences and exposures. I believe even a small improvement in sales skills is important and I have tried to capture all small field observations from suspecting, prospecting, negotiation, closure, post-sales services. This book deals simultaneously with inner and outer skill development for increasing sales ability. Continuous learning and improving is the key to the betterment of skills.

The authors explain the evolution of this new era of marketing and the associated impact on all stakeholders, especially consumers. Taking the example of Ghana, which is considered a leader among African nations in the use of loyalty cards, the authors are able to set a benchmark for other emerging countries, especially those that are experiencing similar trends.
