The Elements of Marketing Design

A successful e-learning marketing design is a balance of three factors:

  • a brand that creates a reputation that keeps customers coming back and attracts new customers

  • market segmentation that optimizes results by leveraging the most appropriate groups of customers

  • a position that places your product in the “sweet spot” in the customer’s mind.
