Implications - It is important for companies and businesses to be well-informed of the concepts, products and ideas to which consumers appeal the most. An enlightened business or company will experience much greater levels of success than a company who possesses little knowledge pertaining to the preferences of their customers. An informed business will be able to provide consumers with the products they will definitely prefer instead of products they don't prefer.
