Informative on Current Marketing - Speech or Presentation exercisingResearchers have found that shopping habits be ingrained in consumers and they are often characterized by assemblage certain items from one store and other items from a different store, that is, consumers will go to a butterfly store to get toys and go to a supermarket to get basic household commodities. Retailers must therefore status themselves in a position that seizes them to take advantage of this complex environment (Krafft and Mantrala 7). Having been in existence for over a century, the Target Corporation an American retailing company has proved to be up to the dispute and has subsequently thrived in the retail industry. Through one of its employees, Target was able to create a moulding that allows the store to predict human behavior and thus preempt their competitors by meeting the individual ineluctably of their customers. The challenge the store was facing was convincing their customers that they could shop for all they need at their store as opposed to getting specific items only where mostly it has been toiletries, cleaning supplies and socks. The biggest constraint was that consumers having their shopping habits ingrained which makes it uncorrectable to convince them to adopt new ones. This restraint was presented by the marketers to one of the employees at the store that is a statistician. They explained that in every persons life time there was a point at which their loyalties could be shifted. One such point is when expecting a baby where expectant mothers will look to brands offering them the scoop up deals and in the past companies had caught up on this and resulted to send them coupons.

This trend has been identified as predictive analytics and has been supported by a piece of work that showed our thinking on issues such as dieting are influenced by habits rather than conscious decision-making which has allowed doctors to state up treatments for addictions, depression among other illnesses. Target tasked Andrew Pole the statistician employee with identifying when their customers shopping habits are particularly conciliatory so as to design suitable advertisements or coupons, which would lead the customers to have new, large spending habits. In essence, the store was striving to push psychological buttons after establishing a cue-routine-reward loop using a calculating machine designed by Pole. However, the issue of priva cy came up as customers were bound to become worried about how Target was finding out such information. The company then decided to camouflage their intentions by sending ads for items that expectant mothers would need alongside other unrelated items so as to eliminate the fear of assault on privacy. Their most impressive story was where the company was able to determine a girl was great(predicate) even before her own father knew, leading them to send her coupons for expectant mothers (Duhigg).
