It adds value for customers through consultation, special offers and projects, and it coordinates the performance of the company. It negotiates fair prices. It also receives support from the numerous e-marketing, classical advertising, direct marketing, telephone marketing, trade fairs and events channels.In addition it draws on comprehensive research rega- ing the customer.
