    Research & Counselling

    There are two major approaches to research inquiry that of quantitative, dealing with experiments & surveys & qualitative, which is concerned with words rather than numbers involves more narrative, observational or case studies. A mixed method approach can also be used, and is becoming more acceptable 3; where qualitative data such as observations & interviews can be combined with traditional surveys McLeod suggests that each research cycle consists of six stages 4; which incorporate questionfinding; planning; data-gathering; data analysis; writing and dissemination.

A review of literature is an informative way to learn about ones chosen topic, assess gaps in knowledge and help…

    Customer Relationship Marketing: Old Spice

    Procter&Gamble acquired Old Spice in 1990. Since then, a brand once associated with a has-been, highly fragrant aftershave whose ivory bottle still gathers dust on medicine-cabinet shelves has transformed from a small stagnating brand into a men's personal-care powerhouse. The brand is undergoing a transformation and rapidly becoming a hip brand for men, thanks in no small part to P&G's 'Smell like a man, man' advertising campaign for Old Spice shower gel, starring the actor Isaiah Mustafa.…

    Customer Seller Relationship

    Customer relationship management (CRM) is a business philosophy designed to improve satisfaction of existing customers and to acquire new customers by communicating with them and better understanding their individual needs. The role CRM is playing in business is getting more important than ever.
