The Paradox of Choice
More Choices Less Choice
When given only one choice, 2/3 of people go ahead and make the purchase. That means 1/3 choose to keep looking. When given two choices, an equal number of people choose each CD player, but nearly half decide to buy nothing.

The Four Transitions

Transition 1
From major channel proactive to multi-channel reactive
Campaign Types
ObjectiveType
Proactive versus Reactive Campaigns
Proactive campaigns are: one time events delivered to a broad audience at the discretion of the
marketer.
Reactive Campaigns are: delivered individually in response to a customer initiative automated with a single template that is used frequently (i.e.
weekly, daily, etc…) dynamic with content based upon the individual customer
initiative (i.e. products related to those purchased or browsed).
