Mr. Ravindran Solomon, Partner, Salt Creatives, Chennai started the mo ing session with interesting commercials / advertisements. This workshop on understanding consumer behaviour, had two sessions. In the first part, he gave us an insight into how the various categories of customers - women, kids and men, have changed over a period of time. He explained that children are not just children who juggle between school and home. As marketers we must understand that children constitute 1/3rd of the population and area, and are big target segments for marketers like us.
