summary
the campaing ensures that there are no weak links in communication between the manufacturer and the customer. the impact of the consumer capaing could hace been wasted if it had not been followed up effectively at dealership level.
it is self-evident that customers or potential customers should be a focus of attention
but, sometimes, this blinds us to the fact that very many more audiences may need to be
selected.
