The Source so far…..
“The course is interesting and informative. The instructor takes time to explain and answer questions. You gain a clear overall picture of how accurate data capture is important.”
“A really useful prompt for the importance of taking the time to analysis all the figures we spend so long collating. Helpful tips, thought provoking exercises and the opportunity to share experiences with other marketing colleagues made this a valuable experience.”
“We typically only do in-depth analysis for our Christmas show but the course has reminded me how easy it would be to pull together a basic analysis of our other work, which would enable to look much more keenly at patterns and trends.”
“Already created a new & improved Interests List using the macro/micro system “
