- High customer acquisition cost results when ad-driven leads cannot readily purchase
- Deliberate placement ensures promotional traffic converts into stable distribution pipeline
- Front-line service personnel confirm or destroy brand expectations set by advertising.
- Standardized, robotic interactions contradict marketing campaigns centered on bespoke care.
- Employee enablement and scripting are core tactical levers within the 5Ps people pillar.
- Selecting convenience-oriented distribution shifts customer focus to instant utility.
