This 2-day workshop will un-veil Neuromarketing techniques that would help marketers penetrate consumers mind for successful launches, greater market share, margins and market leadership!

Marketers are always trying to explore consumers' minds to find out the buying buttons that will put them into action to purchase their brands. For that, they spend sizable amounts on quantitative & qualitative research to understand consumers! These studies help formulate meaningful strategies for Packaging, Advertising campaigns, in-store visibility and mapping brand perceptions.

Hundreds of brands are launched every year with lots of market research and focus group studies. Yet they fail!

The fundamental drawback of these studies is that consumers can't verbalize their actual feelings! In fact, they don't know what they really want. It's not that they always tell what's inside their mind.

What is Neuromarketing?

Neuromarketing is a relatively new subject focusing how the un-conscious mind makes all buying decisions. It analyzes brainwaves capturing signals from the mind & the body to decode how the buy buttons are triggered to influence them without asking any questions.

Neuromarketing is an automated platform to understand what people See, Think and Feel beyond conscious control!

Citi, Google, HP and Microsoft as well as soda water companies, brewers, retailers, manufacturers, creative and media companies have all been exploring Neuromarketing.

All marketing personnel who want to advance their skills to higher levels in Branding, Advert sing & Consumer Insights.
