Adapting Strategies for Large Audiences Adapting marketing strategies for large audiences Introduction MRS code of conduct is a prescription of the standards of conformity as far as research is concerned. It sets the ground rules for conducting research. The code of conduct sets the threshold for the methodology of conducting research to ensure its authenticity. Much of the emphasis of the code is on evidence-based findings to back sound policy decisions or courses of actions pursued. The application of the research tool is for much of the time without problems.
However, its application may develop complications with increase in the audience or scope. Consequently, this calls for more keenness and exercise of prudence in such scenarios.DiscussionFactors to consider when applying MRS code of conduct on a large audience1. Degree of variation of the target audienceThe target population may exhibit extreme or moderate variegation. An analysis to understand the extent is crucial in informing the decision to distribute marketing resources. E.g, whether to invest more in audio or visual for the disabled.2. Limit generalizations.
It is common for an individual to make generalizations about a homogenous population. However, that is not advisable when the audience is large as tastes and preferences may vary.3. Market segmentationAfter establishing the extents of the existent variances, the intended audience should be stratified. The stratification ensures that the application of prescribed procedures elicits standard results for which a standard treatment can be given.ConclusionFor there to be authentic results from a research process, there has to be complete compliance with the prescribed industry norms.
However, the magnitude of the audience may impede the efficiency of the adherence as mentioned above. Therefore, a strategy has to be devised to take into account the inherent differences in the population as well as the specific treatment each group requires (Hamersveld, 2007).Reference ListHamersveld, M.
