Editor's Notes
- The purchase or purchasing funnel is a consumer focused marketing model which illustrates the theoretical customer journey towards the purchase of a product or service. In 1898, E. St. Elmo Lewis developed a model which mapped a theoretical customer journey from the moment a brand or product attracted consumer attention to the point of action or purchase.
- Content is designed for two types of people: senior managers and safety engineers. Purpose of this test was to determine which group within master list cared more about the topic of safety in automation: senior systems integration managers or safety engineers? Content was tailored for each group on the topic.
