In my journey of building a consumer brand from scratch many of my ‘do or die’ decisions have been made by putting my consumers at the forefront. Zubin Sethna and Jim Blythe have produced the most comprehensive work on consumer behavior that I have ever seen, by far. It covers consumer behavior from all angles including an understanding of psychological and sociological issues. Throughout, the book is superbly illustrated with diagrams and consumer behavior is brought to life by several real-world case studies, all enabling the reader to obtain a complete and thorough understanding of the subject. It is a must read for students and practitioners alike!
