Marketing case study.

Please answer all questions.

Many consumers are willing to spend large sums on products which produce

immediate benefits. Expenditure on housing (including joinery) often involves substantial outlay, from which the expected savings are less obvious to individuals. Yet

such investment is an effective way to reduce energy costs significantly. Thus, the

company's marketing should focus on the potential savings in energy costs for homeowners over the long term.
