(Episode 356; 14 minutes 47) Marketers might be wasting money if they don’t understand the outlook of their prospective customers. Professor Brett Martin, from Queensland University of Technology’s School of Advertising, Marketing & Public Relations, says people respond differently to messages depending on whether they are future-oriented planners or those people who live in the moment and think short-term.

He published the results of a study of 882 consumers in a recent edition of the Journal of Advertising. Hear the outcomes of the research in this edition of BTalk Australia.
