Marketing-Mix-Modeling

“Scientists investigate that which already is. Engineers create that which has never been.“

Abstract:

• By modeling the Marketing-Mix the relationship between Marketing spending and a company's development is investigated across time.

• The Marketing-Mix incorporates qualitative-, quantitative- and temporal combinations of Marketing instruments, with which a company aims to tackle their Marketing goals.
• Through a detailed analysis of Marketing spending in the past and business development, one can disentangle successful practices from unsuccessful ones. 

Marketing-Mix-Modeling helps Managers to solve the puzzle of optimal resource allocations in Marketing spending.
