Which marketing segmentation strategy divides the market based on age, gender, income, and education level?
Demographic segmentation
Behavioral segmentation
Psychographic segmentation
Geographic segmentation
Demographic segmentation divides the market according to quantifiable population characteristics such as age, gender, income, and education. The other options categorize by lifestyle, behaviors, or location rather than demographic variables.
Which communication channel allows direct two-way interaction with consumers?
Social media platforms
Radio advertising
Billboards
Television advertising
Social media platforms enable real-time engagement and dialogue between brands and consumers. Traditional media like television, radio, and billboards are primarily one-way broadcast channels.
Which KPI measures the percentage of recipients who open an email campaign?
Open rate
Click-through rate
Conversion rate
Bounce rate
Open rate measures the proportion of email recipients who open the email, indicating initial engagement. Click-through and conversion rates track clicks and actions after opening, while bounce rate reflects undelivered emails.
Which market research method involves collecting numerical data through structured questionnaires?
In-depth interviews
Ethnographic research
Focus groups
Surveys
Surveys use standardized questionnaires to gather quantitative data from a large sample. Focus groups, ethnography, and in-depth interviews provide qualitative insights rather than broad numerical data.
In the marketing mix, which "P" refers to the locations and channels used to make the product available to customers?
Product
Place
Price
Promotion
Place in the marketing mix addresses distribution channels and locations where customers can purchase the product. Product, price, and promotion refer to the item itself, its cost, and communication efforts, respectively.
Which of the following is an example of behavioral segmentation?
Segmenting by geographic region
Segmenting by age group
Segmenting by personality traits
Segmenting by purchase frequency
Behavioral segmentation divides consumers based on actions such as purchase frequency. Age grouping is demographic, geographic region is geographic, and personality traits are psychographic segmentation.
For complex B2B products with long sales cycles, which communication channel is most effective?
Radio advertising
Television advertising
Trade shows
Social media posts
Trade shows facilitate in-depth product demonstrations and direct engagement, which suit the needs of complex B2B sales processes. Television, radio, and social media are less tailored for detailed, high-touch B2B interactions.
A marketing campaign generates $5,000 in profit and costs $2,000. What is the campaign's return on investment (ROI)?
66.7%
150%
250%
40%
ROI is calculated as (Profit - Cost) / Cost Ã- 100, so ($5,000 - $2,000) / $2,000 Ã- 100 = 150%. The other percentages reflect incorrect calculations.
What is a key advantage of using focus groups in market research?
It yields large-scale statistical data
It is the least expensive research method
It provides deep qualitative insights into consumer perceptions
It ensures unbiased numerical results
Focus groups facilitate open discussion among participants, uncovering nuanced opinions and motivations. They are qualitative, not designed for large-scale statistics, and can be more costly than surveys.
Which element of the promotion mix involves personal face-to-face selling?
Public relations
Sales promotion
Personal selling
Advertising
Personal selling is the direct, face-to-face interaction between salespeople and customers in the promotion mix. Advertising is nonpersonal media, sales promotion uses incentives, and public relations manages public image.
Which tactic is considered a digital marketing strategy?
Print newspaper ads
Search engine optimization
Telemarketing
Billboards
Search engine optimization is a digital tactic focused on improving website visibility in search engines. The other options are traditional offline channels.
Which KPI best measures the overall visibility of a brand online?
Inventory turnover
Impressions
Churn rate
Click-through rate
Impressions count how often content is displayed, reflecting broad visibility. Churn rate and inventory turnover are unrelated, and click-through rate gauges engagement rather than reach.
Psychographic segmentation groups consumers by which of the following characteristics?
Purchase frequency
Geographic location
Age and income
Lifestyle, values, and interests
Psychographic segmentation divides markets based on psychological attributes like lifestyle and values. Age/income is demographic, purchase behavior is behavioral, and location is geographic segmentation.
A company wants to target a narrow specific audience with personalized content. Which channel is most cost-effective and precise?
Email marketing
Print magazines
Billboards
Television advertising
Email marketing enables precise audience segmentation and personalization at relatively low cost. Television, billboards, and print have broader reach with less ability to tailor messages individually.
Which pricing strategy involves setting a high initial price and gradually lowering it over time?
Bundle pricing
Economy pricing
Penetration pricing
Price skimming
Price skimming entails starting with a high price to capture early adopters before reducing it. Penetration pricing sets low initial prices, economy pricing targets budget buyers, and bundle pricing offers grouped products.
Which advanced segmentation technique uses cluster analysis on multiple variables simultaneously?
Geographic segmentation
Demographic segmentation
Multivariate segmentation
Univariate segmentation
Multivariate segmentation applies statistical methods like cluster analysis to several variables at once to identify distinct consumer groups. Univariate segmentation analyzes one variable, while geographic and demographic focus on location and population characteristics respectively.
If a firm spends $10,000 on marketing and acquires 200 new customers, what is the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)?
$200
$20
$50
$2,000
CAC is calculated by dividing total marketing spend by the number of new customers: $10,000 / 200 = $50 per customer. The other options result from incorrect calculations.
Which combination of channels best illustrates an integrated marketing campaign that leverages both digital and traditional tactics?
Only email and SMS campaigns
Only digital channels like PPC and SEO
Only TV and radio spots
Social media ads, email newsletters, TV commercials, and print flyers
An integrated campaign combines digital channels (social media, email) with traditional channels (TV, print) to engage audiences across multiple touchpoints. Limiting to one type forfeits the synergies of cross-channel reinforcement.
When researching a small niche market with a specific expertise requirement, which sampling method is most appropriate?
Stratified random sampling
Cluster sampling
Simple random sampling
Purposive sampling
Purposive sampling selects participants based on defined characteristics relevant to the research, ideal for niche markets. Random and cluster methods may not reliably capture specialized respondents in small populations.
A landing page receives 10,000 visitors and 500 complete the desired action. What is the conversion rate?
0.5%
2%
50%
5%
Conversion rate is calculated as (500 conversions / 10,000 visitors) Ã- 100 = 5%. The other percentages reflect incorrect math or misplaced decimal points.
