2. Describing and prioritizing intended consumers;
3. Selecting a feasible, impactful point of entry (e.g. specific behavior, condition, service) to solve a problem;
4. Understanding the importance of formative research, focused on qualitative inquiry; and,
5. Developing a marketing mix based on research insights.

In collaboration with the Muma College of Business at USF, we will take you inside a state-of-the-art consumer research lab equipped with eye tracking, galvanic skin response, heart rate, facial emotion sensors, and other tools used to assess consumer response to marketing stimuli. Day 1 will be spent at the Sand Key learning the “what and why” of neuromarketing research. Day 2 will be hands-on “how?” on campus at USF at the Center for Marketing and Sales Innovation lab.

With registration for the workshop, the CMSI’s technology partner, iMotions, will provide participants with a one-month trial license to their online data collection platform (i.e., no lab required), as well as their full customer support website.

The best of the lab – through the cloud. iMotions Online is a cloud- and browser-based data collection tool, that allows you to set up webcam eye-tracking and facial expression analysis studies and collect respondent data through their browser. The only thing you have to consider is how you scale it to match your ambitions. Visit iMotions Online to learn more.

Please Note: The Neuromarketing for Social Marketing Media Analysis is limited to 20 attendees.
