[order_calculator]There are five questions each worth 20 marks and i really need a good mark to boost my overall mark. This will be electronically checked for Plagiarism. Thanks Understanding consumers and their needs can be a challenge. As the United Kingdom population diversifies, and as consumers redefine their values and preferences, marketers work to provide relevant products and services that meet consumers changing needs and wants. For American Express, keeping up with environmental shifts translates into creating new marketing offers. American Express issued its first charge card in 1958. Within five years, it had more than 1 million cards in use. The company now offers more than 20 consumer cards, 14 small business cards, and customizable corporate cards. Some cards target very specific consumers. By targeting such specific consumers, American Express builds strong relationships with the right customers. Given the business challenges of the last few years, American Express must look for new ways to retain customers and enhance the value experience brought to them. Understanding consumers through marketing research is a vital part of this process. Your Task: Assume that you are the marketing research manager for American Express, one of the UKs leading Credit Card Companies. (www.americanexpress.com, www.americanexpress.com/uk) Q2.
