True

Answer to Question 2

This question is intended to get students to articulate the huge volume of data that is available to the marketer. The only way to determine what data are needed is to start with objectives. The issue is what data items are needed to answer the question of whether we have achieved our objectives or not. This question should guide the selection of metrics to be purchased and/or followed. It is the only way to prevent drowning in the torrent of data produced by the Internet.
