B) Production costs
C) Competitor pricing strategies
D) Customer purchasing power

market. Understanding competitor pricing strategies is crucial to

product's benefits and usability.

value

reflect the product's worth to customers, potentially leading to
higher profitability.
5. When assessing the effectiveness of product-focused marketing
communications activities, which metric is most indicative of
success?
A) Number of impressions
B) Click-through rate (CTR)
C) Conversion rate
D) Return on investment (ROI)
Correct Answer: D) Return on investment (ROI)
Rationale: While metrics like impressions and CTR provide
insights into reach and engagement, ROI is the ultimate measure of
the effectiveness of marketing communications. It evaluates the
profitability of the activities by comparing the revenue generated to
the costs incurred.
